So I have a pair of Drop HD 6XX and have had them for 3 years or so. They always struck me as flat and not a lot of high end. Last fall, as I had an old iPad I could use to stream Apple Music lossless and hi res audio, I picked up the apple camera adapter, USB cable and a Topping D70S MQA and...

I don’t get the sense Amirm’s sense of investment is necessarily a bad thing. He has methods for measuring response curves, distortion and other factors. He also listens to the item after review. I think a lot of his comments of what he hears are pretty reasonalble and has a bit df. A self...

Not to threadjack the Schiit audio thread with bear stories, but my son was tree planting in Northern Alberta/BC many years ago when a black bear started to stalk him. Clearly he was being hunted. My son turned and faced the bear, held up his shovel and pack of saplings and started to talk to...

OK, fixed! After a lot of back and forth with Schiit, finally it came down to them suggesting I first plug the wall wart into power and hooking USB up to the power USB input (closest to outside edge), THEN hooking USB from computer to the Modius data port. I now have full operational excellence...

So more testing last night. Using Optical Digital out from late 2015 iMac to Modius, I am getting full sound oit of the Magnius, so the CAD works , just not the USB interface. Had the USB plugged into the data port of the Modius and could switch back and forth on the Mac from Optical out to USB...

A little more info and testing results: 1. Using a late 2015 iMac, 40GB RAM, Apple Music app streaming 2. USB out direct to Modius. I reconnected directly to the Magnius HP Amp which has been working since I received it as a very nice combo. 3.a. Balanced output to Modius, no sound whatsoever...

No dongle. Pretty straight ahead. USB out of computer to USB audio in to DAC.

Had the Modius/Magnius bundle for the last month and loving it. USB out to Modius, balanced connection to Magnius headphone amp. Computer recognizes the USB Audio Codex out to Modius. All good. I ordered a Lokius which arrived today. Hooked it into the system, and nothing. Silence. Dead...

SO some decent news. Drop was of no help for out of warranty assistance. I re-contacted Seinnheiser and for a relatively nominal feee, they will sell me a set of HD650 drivers that they will show me how to install myself. Gonna go that route I think. No ability to drive above 10,000 hz is a deal...

Thanks, will check that later. Appreciate the input. Would the driver be permanently damaged Is this is the case?

I was initially using a balanced cable, but switched to test with a single ended cable as well, same result. All other phones were single ended. I contacted Seinnheiser who said Drop serviced their products. So I contacted Drop and they do not service out of warranty products. So I have gone...

HD Tracks can be pretty premium priced. I can get a CD for 8.99-12.99. I have bought 20-30 HD Tracks downloads over the years and frankly, hard for me to tell the difference if the master is the same.

I get that totally. It was more that, obviously depending on your view of which is better, the 2019 remix in hi-res sounded worse to my ears than the 2009 16/44.1 rip I did in plain old lossless. So just because it is hi res doesn’t necessarily mean it is a better reproduction of the music. To...

I guess the wrong thing. Only seeing one 6’ one tho. Might be Cdn vs US site. Will check again later.

I picked up the 4pin adapter and balanced cable from Drop for my Seinnheiser HD6XX. I was unaware the balanced cable was only 3’ long, so my bad for missing that. Anyways, will require an 8-10’ extension cable, 4pin male to 4pin femAle. I did not see a stock one from Blue Jeans, and my looks at...
