    It's clear that Drop is suffering without @CEE TEE. This EQ curve looks, frankly, horrible for HD6XX and HD650. Who the hell greenlit this?

    You can't make products by committee or assume that getting YT reviewers to shill your product is going to move units. This kind of thing needs to be carefully considered and an overall product strategy created including thinking about things like what's the overall cost of the package? Does anyone have desktop amps that require power that use a 4.4mm balanced connector?

    It's a shame because I like the direction @iFi audio has been headed. It feels like partnering with Drop to release audio products is a mistake without the actual passionate person who also happened to be a talented product manager on the team.

    I also like how they've grown over last years. But at the same time I'm aware that it's a large company with most likely lots of mouths to feed and probably crazy expenses each month, so I don't expect that each their product will float my boat or make sense to me. If @iFi audio decided to go with Drop, it had to make sense for them.

    It's a cruel money driven world we live in :)
