Thanks, will be keeping it SE.   Further thoughts on DAC19-10th Anniversary: when I got my Gallo reference 3.5s I was struck by the immediacy and punch behind percussion, but voices seemed metallic. I thought both were due to the speakers, and I figured the metallic voices and upper treble...

yes, this helps - I will order it. Thanks!!

Just got my DAC-19 and I am liking what I am hearing. Impressions are early yet. I am comparing to my old benchmark Dac-1 from Squeezebox Touch, on my main rig. Most noticeable is the increased bass and warmth in comparison to the Dac-1. Detail seems to be presented differently with Dac-1 having...

I just wanted to post a couple impressions - I usually lurk, so don't have much experience with this, but maybe I can help people who might be on the fence. I received the Buydig refurbished A900x last week, as well as the AKG K167 Tiesto. I let them burn in a few days, listening intermittently...

Quote: I had the same problem. When I put the phones back together, I put the driver/baffle on upside down, and the wire was hanging over the driver. The wire would rattle with certain notes, but would stop when I tilted my head.

Quote: Hey LFF, I have a spare new (unmodded) T50rp I can give you. In return you can give me the one you are waiting for when it gets to you.... that is if you don't leave the thread!!   I appreciate your contributions here...   I'm in La Jolla

Quote: I use an Audio-gd NFB12 (combo dac and headphone amp) at work, and I'm pretty happy with it... FWIW. At home I'm using a W4S Dac-1 and an audio-gd Roc - that's better  

no, but similar - I "borrowed" my girlfriends hair ties while she is away on business!

Quote: Here's mine! Cotton fabric belt was the donor - I thought it would breathe more than leather, and so far so good - thanks for the tip LFF.    

Ok, thanks for the reply!!!   Quote:  

Any chance you can check to see if the LCD-2 ear-cushions fit the T50rp?   Quote:

I just did my first set of mods to the T40rps. This is the first step for me: I added modeling clay to the baffle (crayola) removed the felt on the ear side of the driver, removed the plastic cover over the vents on the back of the cup, placed acoustic adhesive backed foam on the back of...

I find the mdr-7506 to be a decent headphone. I bought new ear beyer pads for them recently and listened to them for the first time in a while. They are easy to amplify, built like a tank, nicely collapsible, comfortable and they isolate well. This makes them great for travel, although IEMs may...

FYI, Full Compass is reporting having the T50rp in stock.

Quote: I thought of that! There were some posts saying the drivers are identical, but the felt is thicker on the T40s, and the cups are closed... If the retailers don't get stock soon, I'll have try some T40s!
