I stand corrected, and leaves most of looking at it wrong. Though my intent was to point out why would you wait such a long time to use a hp/iem when you are able to hit 90% almost instantaneously, or in a very short time (according to this chart). That is just a major loss in enjoyment.

  I know it does not matter. Even if it did you reach 90% within six hours. Which makes waiting for the 200 hour point a major waste of time. Doing this you are just losing hours of enjoyment by burning and forgetting until then.

    90% in 6 hours. 100% 200 hours. @mochill may be correct according to the graph here.

Disk mode would be useful with those having the USB identification issue.

Thank you good sir. I just need to be sure. I have been hesitant to get the cable suggested by you for my ATH-IM50, due to lack of experience with the cable side with audio. I figured this would be a good to test that theory, but if it only came with just the one my test would be mute.

Does anyone know when you order a pair of VSD3/S from Penon with the upgrade cable if you still get the stock with it?

Glad you enjoy.

Ok, sounds good. If I cannot translate it good enough the SO can. She is always correcting my Japanese.

You cannot go wrong with MonsterCat Media.

My week has been officially ruined.  Now I know what anticipation feels like.

  What is the link? I will help with the translation.

If the CKR9s are not well over my current budget I would have bought them already. Every trip I make to Yodobashi I pay visit to the CKR9s, and have a music date. Yes I know it's sad, but we have a Romeo and Juliet thing going. His pieces still hold up to this day.

I think the padding was more of a comfort additive than sound.

I can see the skepticism to this, but all I ever do with thing is turn it on and hit play. After that I lock it and forget. When I'm done I manually shut the player down. I'll play closer attention to this and see what result I get. Along with a benchmarking.

Ha, I know. I am trying to go for a month, if at all possible.
