Couldn't tell on this one, never read about anyone swapping caps on this amp. Those are certainly nice caps and of better quality, but whether or not the juice is worth the squeeze is anyone's guess at this point. I have my doubts one would be able to tell a difference, but if you do go through...

Awesome! Glad to hear someone out there still remembers/uses this amp! I'm still rockin mine with the same HE-500 headphones!

Did it never come out? I lost interest and didn't keep up with it.

Couldn't even figure out what forum to post this in as I'm not sure what the heck it even is. Just thought it sounded a bit ridiculous: LINK and the video is here on Facebook: LINK A New Class of Audio Control: Dynamic Re-Tuning of Concert Pitch October 6, 2017, Denver, CO. Today at RMAF...

Yea noticed yesterday at Best Buy they dropped the price of the version 1 to $329.99 also.

Yep, I owned both for a bit. Just sold the MDRXB950BT and still have the QC35. IMO the QC35's are in a whole different world. Better in every single way. They offer more features, feel way better on my head, are lighter in weight, sound infinitely better and looks better too. BUT they cost A...

Same here. I can walk really far from my phone and they stay connected perfectly. I think of all the Bluetooth headphones I tried these sound the nicest and the ANC works by far the best, but I didnt buy them to be my main, high quality headphones. I just got them to wear at work.

Good to see this thread is still alive. Ive still got my D5000's and love them! When I want bass, they never fail to deliver!

LOL CRAZY that this thread is still going! I've still got my HD-650s and still LOVE them! Will probably never sell them.

After having these for a couple months I have to say, once EQ'd they are much more bearable, but today I just picked up a pair of Bose QC35's and wow what a difference in every single aspect. So Ill be selling my Sony MDR-XB950BT's. Not much need for them IMO after upgrading.

Just got a pair of QC35s and they came with 1.0.6. Just upgraded to 1.3.2 and LOVE the ability to disable the ANC. Very cool. also OTA update was like 27 minutes so I canceled it and it took under 5 doing it via USB. Still feeling the "cabin pressure" feeling from the ANC however. Gonna try and...

Got any pics of the inside of one of these?

Each of my headphones have their own complimentary amps and I never use them with anything but. However I have tried the Denon AH-D5000's on the mini-X. It was a while ago so I cant remember the specifics, but I do recall I didnt think it was great but certainly listenable.

Schiit Bifrost Uber upgraded here.

I have read of others claiming that the 220 ohm resistors were too high and never could understand that. With a BiFrost Uber as a DAC feeding the mini-X and the 220 ohm resistors I can barely turn the volume past 30% before its way too loud to listen to on my HE-500's. I had originally tried...
