I'm in. Going to follow progress on this thread as well. Can't wait to feel that rumble.

Just backed the Kannons. Hope they are as good as initial opinions. Certainly a fun project, glad to get in early!

Nice idea, it seems to work well and is not that expensive in the grand scheme of things..

Well it depends on the software. The Onkyo player can display that information. Of course the Denon hardware does not display it at all.

Sorry to be a spoil sport but the only thing that works on the iPhone to all the higher res playback is the http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD821ZM/A/lightning-to-usb-camera-adapter The denon included cable doesn't pass through the higher res so it's been unused in the box for me :-(

In terms of using the iPhone for Hi Res.  I use Onkyo HF Player with the (paid for option) HD playback.  Bear in mind that without the apple official lightning to usb adaptor you will not be able to output the high res even if the software and file is willing... Then plug a basic usb cable from...

That is an odd one. Sorry I can't really be of much assistance. I had an Xperia Z2 before and I remember something about it being one of the first android phones to support USB DAC out or some such thing. Perhaps you need a certain kernel mod for your phone if it's not natively supported. That's...

Are you using the correct input switch position on the side?  Does the unit work with other sources such as PC?  Is the USB cable faulty (have you tried another cable).. Does the unit light up when you turn it on?

If anyone is interested in a pair of SZ2000 with the red pads from the other JVC Xtreme Bass series feel free to PM me.  May be selling the pair I have had for testing.  Only used for a month.  Great headphones but don`t want to have to EQ all the time and my Denon DA-10 amp/DAC does not have an...

Will let you know if I get any news!  So it has to be 6mm at the widest part is that right?

What do you guys think a custom cable should cost for something like this?  If I could get some made up to spec with some high quality OFC cable and with a choice of lengths/color and with a plug that could fit without modification?  I am going to make some inquiries!

Glad you like them. Interesting to see what you think of the PM3. They are quite a bit more over here..

Thanks Romani!  Will do.

OK guys... don't kill me.. but I just sold my M400s... Awesome headphones for the money but just so many others I want to try out.  Have a set of Sony XBA A3 on order.  Want to see if I can get an IEM with a decent soundstage and feel of a larger headphone.  Been really interesting reading this...

Can you see that? Just at the top of the metal area. The other side is perfect. So it makes me wonder if it is just being a "natural" product or if I should contact them. Damn this OCD!

Thanks guys. One thing I have noticed on mine are the way the wood is cut around the top of the metallic centre piece is not that "cleanly" cut on mine.. at least on one side.. quite rough in fact - is that the same on yours?  I am quite sensitive about things that are quite as obvious as that...

Well.. as I am getting these for a lot of people I thought it was time I should get a good listen so invested in a pair for myself.. Sexy...   Very....   Very, very nice!   Two great headphones - my wife seems to prefer the look of the Denon - I like the overall look of the Sony...

...and I am selling one if you are interested..  if not, hope you found something suitable!

If anyone needs help sourcing these from Japan they are welcome to PM me for any information.  They certainly are an awesome set of headphones.

Glad you are enjoying them Romani - sorry to hear about the rattle.. glad it is nothing major! Mr Khan.. will let you know more directly when I get them in. I wish you guys would stop tempting me to buy these and get rid of my Z7 I only bought a month ago!

Thought I would share an experience with you guys.  If anything it may help the company in question improve in the future.   I am a long term lurker on these forums but recently became more active.. I have been involved with audio since working part time for a high end retailer in the UK back...

I'm out in Japan. One of the perks is getting to see this stuff pretty early. Saw one hooked up to a laptop in my local electronics shop. Sounded pretty nice. Presumed it would work with the apple camera connection kit. Didn't try it as it was out of my price range and as you can see from my...

Denon DA 10... Got one a couple of days ago.. Sounds amazing with PC or my iPhone and has a line out for use with amp.. Also no stupid charging issues like some of the Sony dacs... http://usa.denon.com/us/news/news/124

No problem. That's the one!

iozz, I believe when connecting using a simple lightning to use connector you are limited in the signal that the DAC can receive. You need to connect with the apple camera connection kit to get a signal into the micro USB port (that they list for USB-DAC) to get the full res signal. Hope that...
