Agree, the best way is probably to identify which the stock connectors are since they fit really good.

I bought HD700 cables from Aliexpress and while they work the fit is much less secure than with the stock cables, fwiw.

Thanks! It's brown mallee burl.

Joined the club yesterday. :-) Thanks to the excellent recommendations I was given in the Bokeh thread.

Just wanted to feed back a little on this great post. I decided to bin the idea with a new closed back, keep my Teaks and instead spring for an open back. After reading through your recommendations, I reached out to the local AD and will receive an Auteur Classic in a couple of days for a...

Excellent, thanks for the general comment. Generally speaking for ZMF - Is the treble as good as the bass? I really like the treble energy on the Teaks so I become a little hesitant when reviews of most/all ZMF headphones praise how smooth and dark they are which to me is the opposite of what...

Importing one would probably add at least 20-25% on the MSRP though

I'd take a hard look at the Danish Audio Design DAC30 instead of buying a new NewOnTech. At least in Scandinavia they can be found for a bargain, especially considering the MSRP. Relatively affordable way to get a tubed multibit DAC.

If you use a M1 Mac then you can download the Wiim app and use it on your computer. Absolute game changer for me.

So a 15 year bump just to promote your products? :unamused:

I use a late 2012 Mac Mini (i5/8 GB with SSD) as core, works flawlessly.

Thinking of replacing the cable on my Teaks. Any suggestions that are less than $100? It's been a while since I last read up about it but iirc E-MU chose to use some sort of finicky connectors that make replacement a bit difficult. Is Oppo PM-2/HD700 cables the same, or do I remember incorrectly?
