oh, then perhaps I was mistaken with the mix amp's usb. As far as the ax720's digital rain I can have the volume set to nearly 0 and still hear it. I'm not sure if I hear it if it's all the way down.   With my Asus Xonar DG It's the headphone amp that's gone bad. It doesn't matter what...

Quote: Digital rain drops is an easy way to describe it. When Dolby headphone is engaged and there is no sound coming from your source it sounds like crystal pins dropping on glass surfaces all around you.   I do Console + PC. I have an Asus DG sound card but the headphone amp on it is...

Here check out this thread http://www.gamespot.com/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-2/forum/astro-a40-vs-tritton-ax720-54434557/ ... LOLed hard.   I bought a Tritton AX720 amp/decoder box only for about $15. I invested another $5 in cables/adapters to make it work with any headphones. It gets...

It's a really good idea. I want the most/best out of something audio wise. Isn't that what head-fi is all about? Mad Lust Envy's thread is why I'm here in the first place. Two months ago the best headphones I owned were some SkullCandy Agents. I've sold those and now own some Stax, Sennheiser...

Sorry about hijacking the thread. I've started looking on my own for other people having this problem and there solutions and there is alot of success with the hair removal theory. It may have been the black dust that was on top of the paper filter of mine. I'm going to bring home my can of air...

Hmmm. Ya your right, didn't think about that. Not sure where to go from here.   I got the driver out and seen a single black hair thing on the back of the driver but everything else looks really clean now. Not sure what to do.

The white paper part that circles the shiny dome looks like it has a spot that is lifting up in the center around the shiny dome. I don't know if thats important but I thought I'd put that up as well. Ok... now I'll tip the cup over and see what I can do from there. So far I got all that black...

Ok. I got the plastic ring off.. I see the black foam is attached to that. There is this weird black fine but coarse dust on the white outer part of the driver twords the outer rings that have this black grill pattern on them. In the center there is a shiny circle with a dome in the center. This...

Ok, I got the ear pad off and I used a q-tip to get the white dust that was under that. I see where your talking about with the plastic retaining ring. These are kinda hard to work on. The angle. I got them shorted up and I can bend them so the cups are resting on each other's side but it's...

Really? Hair or dust could cause a buzz and scratchy sound at certain freq? If thats the case do you have any advice for taking them apart and cleaning them. What would I be hearing if the right driver did have a problem or was blown.

I got my Beyerdynamic Dt 770 Pro 600 ohm headphones in.   There is some damage to the Black foam on the inside of the cups. A chunk the size of a quarter cut in half is missing from the back of the left cup. Will this hurt anything? The white surface underneith looks fine and clean. Is that...

Well I got my Stax gamma's in and hooked up to my pioneer vsx-3300. It's almost been .5 hours listening so far. So the charge should almost be complete. So far they seem really good. Sometimes they wow me. I'm listening to http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR02278/ at the moment. I'm checking to see If...
