Hmmph, didn't see this until just earlier today. I'm interested in getting a new DAC, so I think I might keep an eye on this, and make that remaining early bird pricing of course. :p

Hey, are we still arguing about HE-400 pads? Because I finally switched out my stock pleathers for velours today(yesterday really) after about 6.5 months with those  . Immediate impression is that it doesn't sound as fatiguing with the new pads, though they do seem to clamp pretty tightly...

Thanks to everyone who answered (or theorized on ) my question earlier about the "twaack". I suspected it was harmless since like I said before I had heard it before and it didn't seem to harm the headphone, but I had it in fairly quick succession right before I made my inquiry and it *seemed*...

Has anyone ever had a loud clicking noise occur with the HE-400s? I was just playing a game with these on and I got three loud clicks, two on the left earcup and one on the right. I had gotten these before, albeit not as common so it's a little odd.

I see I'm as sloppy with turning on/off procedures as I've always been, just unplugged my headphones from my Asgard before turning down the volume and shutting off the amp again. I've been able to do it many times with dynamic headphones in the past on something without a muting relay, though...

Quote:   Bought em for the HE-400s I received a week and a half ago and which I'm using now, heard they paired well and I saw a good deal on the table so I went with the Schiit. Lovely piece of gear btw, sounds great to my moderately-refined ears and this thing's industrial design looks...

Guess I gotta report in now, posting while listening to my "new" Asgard 1 I bought off another headfier for decently close to the price of a new Magni w/ shipping.

Mine was supposedly from an RMA and it didn't have it. The person I bought it from actually had two sent to him for return service and according to him his didn't have one either.   Manual was also beat up on mine, but the headphone itself was pristine from what I can tell. Very strange.

Does anyone know if there have been any instances of possibly fake or counterfeit M-Stages? Thinking of bidding on this listing here, but it doesn't seem like the seller has sold any amps before so I'm a bit leery of doing it.

Another question, I thought you were supposed to wear the HE-400 with the R/L lettering facing backwards, but the cable seems to disagree because if I do that then the Y-split is twisted, which is bad because that seems to be a culprit in causing the connectors to loosen. I have been twisting...

Quote:   I actually have reinstalled the pad with the credit card method, just wanted to know if there were any consequences to messing up the foam lining within the pad.

Is there an effect on the sound quality if you bend the foam lining inside of the pads out of shape? I got my HE-400s last friday and have been listening to them over the weekend, and today decided to take a peek inside to look at the drivers(they've white fyi). I looked at youtube videos for a...

Quote:   Naw, I waited until the last half hour on a whim, wasn't really expecting to actually win the thing given how much these things seemed to be in demand.   As for the reminder, I'll get on it.   Edit: While I'm at it, has anyone tried the HE-400s with the Millet Starving...

Ok, so I've been eying the HE-400 for a while now and on a whim leapt up with a single bid on a new and unopened pair that was on ebay, which I ended up winning somehow. So now that I'm about to be $357.50 poorer, I've realized that I've kind of failed my research and was not quite aware that I...

Flip mod + Sony Hybrids ftw.
