Both my Schiit amps have super scratchy pots to the point I bitch and moan on the daily :).

You may be clinically dead.

Yeah listen to the 6xx for a couple of weeks and then go back to your other cans. I thought I was gonna return mine but after a month or two I realized why they’re incredible.

This is a valid route. But just keep in mind if you do a chargeback the your drop account will for sure be banned.

Love mine too.

Congrats! I bet they sound awesome!

Any external amp that supports 300 ohms and up will do, just get a 3.5 mm to rca cable and you'll be good to go.

I love solupeak line switchers, I have one like the one you linked so I can switch between two dacs and four amps.

The Monolith is more reliable than the Drop one. Bought my Drop one last holiday season and it broke after 3 months of use but that one was on me because I was running cans on the Balanced XLR using a 3.5mm to XLR adapter + daisy chaining one too many adapaters (Terrible Idea and such a noob mistake of me. You can get away with 3.5 to 2.5mm/4.4mm adapter, but NEVER with an XLR.) Nowadays, I stick to SE to SE and Balanced to Balanced to ensure proper load and longevity of the AMP. Drop amp eventually tripped the OCP and stop powered on ever since.

I have the Monolith version and everything has been great with that one. I've had it for over a year and I got it used.

I don't remember anything about, really.

Lol they have an amp called the “Fulla” and that’s comedic gold.

Congrats my dude....So happy for you. Do yourself a favor and don't let others tell you to go by anything else instead of what you have. Be very aware of the Law of Diminishing Returns. And be especially watchful for the purist that wants you to avoid Software EQ's, when they can pretty much create whatever sound you want today or tomorrow. Be happy and enjoy yourself with your choice

So sorry for your issues. Hate to sound like a broken record but I too have never had a single thing go wrong with my 789. It has been one of the best purchasing and most dependable and amazing sounding products I've purchased for my audiophile life.

My part of the post where I stated that you'd need to be able to explain your stance was to avoid people who spout this and that with no substance. We don't have a conversation and your derogatory attitude is not helping.

Never had an issue with mine, great build quality for the price. Mines been sitting in a cupboard since I've gotten my singxer but still a solid buy.

Enjoy, that’s my easiest top recommendation for the price so far

Headphones with glasses no problem, depending on the headphones. I just can not do on-ear headphones with glasses on. Most around-ears are fine.

>How about this: there is audible distortion when an amp is being asked to drive a load beyond its ability. There are headphones that are beyond the ability of many amps. You will not see this on a sine wave sweep, but it’s clear as day with a real input signal.

But you literally do see this with a sine sweep? Though they tend to pick one signal and increase the power of that signal until it clips.

Do you understand how testing for max power before clipping works? If not, I can probably find a resource for you to learn. The way headphone amps are tested is pretty cool.

The amount of power a headphone amp outputs before this is what results in how loud it can drive a headphone. All of what you are talking about is already taken into account when I talk about two amps being set to a specific voltage output. It was what I was referring to when I said the advantage is loudness but I don't listen that loud. A JDS Atom can handle ~7v before clipping, maybe a little more if you allow for 1% distortion. That is 104dB on the HE-6. I don't listen that loud ever.

Yep, I concur. I already own some LCD 2's, Focal Radiance, Focal Clear MG. And I recently just bought another pair of 6xx's because I missed the pair I sold lmao
