I would love to see a measurement made of the Sennheiser GSX 1000. Its a gamer product but given its price and who makes it I'd love to see what you get for your money.
The EVGA Nu Audio soundcard might be well worth a look. No idea how it sounds but EVGA is the first new player in the PC soundcard space in years.

Still in for this one.
Literally made an account here to say "don't get this". While the surround sound tech Sennheiser used in the GSX 1000 is, quite frankly, completely nuts awesome, the actual audio quality of the unit itself gets its butt handed to it by almost every headphone jack carrying device I've ever owned, including (drastically) a Soundblaster e5, the on-board port on every mobo i've owned since 2006, the lightning adapter for an iPhone, the (damaged) phone jack itself... need I go on? It's very, very weak and lean sounding into Sennheiser G4ME Zeros. I cringe every time I type that name, but it's basically a 598 [IIRC] in headset form, so they good sound.
But still, that surround sound tech is the most convincing thing I've heard out of two speakers, and I'm almost tempted to get (another) one and take a soldering iron to it.

And if I still had it I'd be glad to measure it for you. Unfortunately, it only spent about two days outside it's package before it went back. But yes, I'm sorry for not having more concrete data for you.I am looking for the measurements.
Any plans on testing out some Chinese dac/amp? Specifically the HPA-3u+ from matrix audio 419$ and yulong daart canary for 270$ . The price I got for the matrix was from their website and for the Yulong it was on shenzenaudio .
Yes , I was just merely stating that he could also look into other Chinese brands if he feels like exploringAren't the Topping and SMSL lines also Chinese?
No plans. But that Yulong seems kind of ugly:Any plans on testing out some Chinese dac/amp? Specifically the HPA-3u+ from matrix audio 419$ and yulong daart canary for 270$ . The price I got for the matrix was from their website and for the Yulong it was on shenzenaudio .

Seems like it is made out of plastic and the bottom melted out.
I'm not sure amir has any dedicated headphone reviews so far. (lol) especially considering the audio equipment thread, I don't think speaker/headphone drivers fall into this particular categoryHi @amirm, not sure if you have reviewed the Verum 1 yet. If not, happy to share it onward for testing when my pair arrives.
