    DIY Cable Questions and Comments Thread

    I'm not the type of Head-Fi user who mods a ton, but recently, my Denon D2000 cables has been cutting out on the right headphone.

    New Hifiman Headphone HE-400 is out

    As someone who loves my Denon D2000s, I'm really considering upgrading to the HE400s. What should I expect? A more "accurate" or "neutral" sound? I love the bass on my D2000s and I'm a bit worried the HE400s will be too sterile for me.   Thoughts?

    Sennheiser HD 598 Impressions Thread

    Is there ANY reason I should spend the extra $15 and get the 598s instead of the 558s?   The fake wood and paintjob doesn't seem worth it.

    Schiit DACs (Bifrost and Gungnir down, one to go)? The information and anticipation thread.

    I'm pretty sure I know the answer but I have a question:   I have a pair of Denon D2000s that are low impedance. What would provide the biggest improvement in sound: a Schiit Asgard amp or a Schiit Bifrost DAC, assuming my source is a MacBook laptop.   I think the answer is the DAC but...

    Schiit DACs (Bifrost and Gungnir down, one to go)? The information and anticipation thread.

    I have to say, Schiit has done a really good job with their product line for people like me - strictly digital listeners who want an amazing setup for under $1000.   I realize a lot of audiophiles around here don't hold onto equipment for a long time but I just don't see myself getting a...

    I realize the tech is new but I'd be interested to see how well thunderbolt ports would perform compared to USB.

    I'm in the same boat as you, I'm waiting to see what people say about the D-Zero.   A couple people have mentioned it and I'm curious, what's a "ZO" everybody is talking about?

    Low Impedance vs. High Impedance? Huge Difference?

    I've had "expensive" headphones for 5 or 6 years now and I've always purchased low impedance headphones so things like laptops can drive them. I currently own the D2000s, which has a really low impedance of 25 ohms.    What advantage do high impedance headphones have? Are they really that...
