TLDR: Can the Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro headband assembly be modded to work on a pair of D2000's? Hey all, I recently moved to an apartment so I can't listen to my speaker sett-up as loud as I would like and have revived my forgotten pair of D2000's. Wow, I forgot how good they sound, but the...

Quote:   Wow, it does look nice.  I usually don't pay that much attention to Fiio because they are generally below my price point (all though I respect them as a company for what they have done for the audio industry).  However, in the real world I design outerwear, and I really like the...

Quote:   Thanks for your insight!  I've looked at the Leckerton UHA-6S MKII before.  My only issue with that device was that it only samples up to 16-bit/48khz via USB streaming, and I would also use this as a portable desktop DAC.  The not-yet-available iBaso D Zero-SE looks interesting...

Hi all,   I'm going to be getting a new Android phone soon and I've been looking at getting a portable DAC/amp to pair with it.  My goal is to spend <$500 on a DAC/amp unit that is battery powered and has both a good DAC and amp.  I've been following this thread for some time and the leading...

Thanks for your reply.  I'm familiar with VA ratings.  I thought that they rated the maximum output of a transformer, but I wanted to be sure.  My previous transformer should have been able to handle the power that my circuit needed but it burnt out so I wanted to make sure that it was the...

Hi all,   A while back I built a Morgan Jones tube amplifier for my electronics lab's final project.  It worked beautifully until my transformer burnt out.  I've been looking at transformers and I have a questions about how they are rated for power.   I need a 500V CT transformer with a...

Quote: I've used USB charging boards from ebay to charge rechargeable lithium batteries in other applications.  A 5V battery might be hard to come by though.  I was thinking of using a couple 3.7V batteries with a resistor to bring the voltage down.  If I did this circuit I would probably...

Quote: Interesting, I was under the impression that Sennheiser designs their headphones for 0 output impedance.   In my limited amount of direct comparisons, I have tend to agree that low output impedance improves sound.  

Quote: I'm looking forward to your comparisons!

Hi all,   I've been looking around for a DAC replacement for my Xonar D1 sound card for my PC.  I actually like my D1 and I run it through a Matrix M-Stage amp so the high output impedance isn't an issue. Any ways, I came across the Meridian Explorer and was very impressed by the reviews.  I...

Quote: If you live in Colorado (or might be passing though) and like to downhill Keystone or Winter Park are are the best lift accessed places in CO IMO.  If you are more interested in XC then I might suggest Vail or Breckenridge; however, non-lift accessed  bike trails might be just as...

For anyone that downhills or is interested in riding Keystone.  I dug up this video that my buddy and I made when we lived in Keystone a few years ago ... Wow I had long hair.  

I'm in Colorado at 5,400 feet.  I'm finishing school this in a few days so I should  have tons of time to ride this summer!

The way Chinese bikes work might be considered somewhat unethical.  There are no international patent laws and Chinese manufactures end up producing OEM frames from other companies designs.  This happens all the time from China and other similar countries (especially in the apparel industry)...

I own a few bikes but I just built a new track bike.  Some of the parts I had lying around and the rest I bought from ebay.  I didn't really spend that much building this bike.   OEM Chian Frame. Hed H3 front wheel. Hed 50mm carbon rim with a novatec hub. Shimano Ultegra cranks...
