My wallet feels much better. 

Today I just had a chance to meet developer of JVC DX-1000, DX2000, also the global manager of headphone division.

They said DX-1000 and DX-2000 are identically using the same drivers and has the same sound quality.

The differences are

1) Housing finish             
      HA-DX1000-----Beatiful wooden pattern appears on the surface of housing
      HA-DX2000-----Piano black finish but the original wooden pattern also appears on the surface.

2) Factory Aging
     HA-DX1000-----No aging at the factory
     HA-DX2000-----48 hours aging at the factory so that user can enjoy the performance
                         of HA-DX2000 from the day one.

And this is available only 300 units for only Asian countries except Japan.

mysteries of the marketing...

I guess it´s necessary. People buy gear like they have a best before date. Hard to keep fotm going otherwise :)

To bad they would price hike it at the same time instead of giving more DX 1000 to the masses :(.

I saw these today at Jaben in HK. We took them out of the box but I was not able to listen to them; they keep wood headphones pristine for the purchaser. (I don't object - and Kin at Jaben is a great guy.)

The DX2000 is quite attractive in real life but it's just a dark version of the DX1000.

Also the mystery of "why" has been solved. The DX2000 has been created to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Shun Hing Electronics, the long-time Hong Kong distributor of Victor/JVC/Panasonic and other Matsu****a products. It seems that there may be only 60 of the DX2000 out there.

Where can you buy these?

In HK, both Jaben and the main Kingsound Audio shop each have a pair. That's where I noticed it anyway.
