I hate it when companies advertise the output impedance of their headphone amps as such as 8-600 ohms. Who are they trying to fool? Jun 17, 2018

  Clearly they have no idea what output Z really means, or perhaps they are trying to hide the fact that their amps have a high output Z because it might scare away potential customers. Output Z is, in the literal sense, the impedance of the amp's output, NOT the range of the load (headphone) impedance that "the manufacturers think" would work well with their amps.

  Well, half of the consumers don't know the difference between sensitivity and impedance.

  Maybe it indeed is 8..600 ohms, hehe. More true, but also more offensive.

hi, did you ever get your 4 screw code X? I'm curious to how it compares to the 6 screw version

  The HE-5/Code-X only comes in 4 screw version. It is the HE-6/Code-6 that comes in early 4 screw or late 6 screw versions.

I'm sure we'll see a "Sundaga" from HFM later this year and it will be the new bestest evar.

We should start banning dotards who create a redundant 2nd, 3rd thread every f*cking time a Massdrop x ?? product is released.

  Some forums have probation periods for new members where they don’t have certain priveladges like creating threads. I guess that’s an option for non contributors who are “rando” and “acquaintance” status

  Maybe. Or maybe the mods (yes, I know, more work! Sorry) could just roll them up into a "Latest from Massdrop" thread.
  
  Another maybe... ban the people on those threads who tell us what the thing is going to sound like.

What, no daily courier tracking screen prints? No pre-impression impressions?

Yep... You're right! This isn't headfi! :)
