Hi guys! It is update time!
I went with the HD 650's at an incredible bargain sale price. I figure I can deal with them being "close to" fully driven for now and perhaps get a 100% sound out of them in the future.
I am currently in the process of burning them in (Pink Noise at a little above normal listening levels) as well as stretching the headband to fit easier on the head without being so tight.
The question that I have, for any experts out here on this card, is what gain setting do you prefer or recommend?
The card's software has High Gain (64-300 ohms) and Very High Gain (300-600 ohms).
I used the search function and found a similar question posed, however there was no definitive answer. Can anyone shed more light on this at this point in time?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer

Hey mate, congratulations on your purchase. Still, the STX isn't going to get it "close" to fully driven from my experience, but the main thing is that you're enjoying them! Consider looking at a nice, cheap amplifier like the Little Dot Mk III in the future, you won't be disappointed
