Sounds interesting. Your own idea or DIY-"common knowledge"? I'm thinking... What'll happen to the bass response?

I found out that someone else has already done this on this forum, don´t remember who.. 
 
Surprisingly the bass response is better..I think everything is better so far..Sound stage and clarity is way increased! Still i have not listened on this more then an hour or so..Maybe i´l post and impression later on.

How exactly do you define "better"?

Whatever I like more is 'better'.  I have spoken.

Haha. Do you have any objective measurements to back this claim? 

 

[Arvan]

More is always better isn´t it? 

 
Biggest improvement is sound stage and clarity, midrange is pushed forward a bit making voices more defined. I find the bass to be more prominent and more detailed..I am no good at writing fancy words describing the difference in sound as you guys clearly noticed by now.
 
i can´t A-B the cans, semi vs open unfortunately..Try it out for yourself
 
No measurements to back it up...But it´s clearly differences in the sound..Or my own madness kicking in!

Sounds delish already.  Can we see the final product, please?

The final result..Finish isn´t top so i might redo the grills..It was kid of hard to get it looks nice with just a wire cutter and some brute force My father has my dremel so i might head over there and fix it up properly...The metal grill is from a slaughtered Antec 300 computer case

Those look gorgeous!  DIY in all its glory and beauty.

Kinda looks like a shure 1840 and some hifiman.. significantly cheaper though

Current set up. I should be happy for a while. I still want see LCD2 or 3 in that picture though

Do I see Windows 7 on that Apple display? Through mini dvi and it works? I am thinking of buying one too.

How do you like the rDAC.. I have one on order to mate up with my Schiit Lyr.

I think its a brilliant dac for the money. Comparing it to my Vdac that I upgraded from, it has better seperation and extension, deeper clearer bass. It's a fraction brighter at the top but with no hardness at all. I've only used it through the coaxial input so can't comment on usb or optical. It's going to be a keeper for me for a while.

I use HD6990 with mini display port. Any graphic cards with minidisplay port or display port with adaptor will work.
If you wanna use 100% of ACD(isight Bright adjustment etcs..) you can install drivers from bootcamp but you will need OSX for that.

Well done, senson ,

 this is a double delight of leisure and productivity. Even the tea 

 is prominently displayed in its rightful place (pssst...your clocks are 4 minutes apart 

 ).

Looks great, but two clocks?
