Hi,

I am new to the Denon D5000 and I am very impressed with the mid and high frequency range more so than with the bass. I am using these headphones with
a custom made digital headphone amp (with digital volume adjust only and optical in only) and the
bass seems normal to me, not as reported by some which feel it is too heavy on
the bass.

That leads me to a question, as I was immediately turned off when I figured the AH-D5000 is apparently made in China and not in Japan. Is this a true statement ?

Is it possible that some have received earlier shipments which were made in Japan ?

It just irritates me that Denon calls up a sales prices which is not in line with a product made in China. To me this is bordering on legal fraud.

Also, I noticed sales price variations ranging form $US385, £500 to Euro 699.

Am I missing something here or are there two different qualities the headphones are sold with ?

What is your opinion on that ?

Cheers
