Just wanted to give an update, the DAC died yesterday. 7,5 years of service, it was great RIP.

How much are you selling it for?

The cable costs 58.95 EUR, Headband 54.15 EUR and they take 30 EUR for the work. That's 143.1 EUR + tax

I used audiophile tape to seal the leak. It's made from special heat and vibration absorbing material, with a glue made by nasa that reflects radiation. It only costs 160$ + shipping, they also sell it in different colours so it will match your 2000$ gold cable.

I'm going to get new cable and headband from Beyerdynamic soon. It's not very expensive either :)

The cable is fine, it's only the insulation that has cracked.

The headphone is 3 years old and I think I've used it on average 3 hours per day.

The insulation cracked and it started leaking some blue fluid/grease that's under the insulation so I put some tape over it.

This is how my T1 looks after years of daily hard use :)    

It broke when I twisted it into my ear like I do with every other iem, never ever seen any of my other iem's that cost a lot less than RE-600 fail. It's always the cable that breaks never the stems. This is just bad quality, and you can easily see why it breaks on the picture.

After one week something broke, terrible build quality for 400 dollar IEM  

I got my Schiit Bifrost yesterday and I let it sit and play music over night. I have to say that I am a little disappointed, this is my 2nd DAC and this wasn't a HUGE upgrade from my Spitfire MkII. I can hear that there is a difference but it wasn't worth 4-500 USD.

I used Spotify before, after I got wimp I instantly canceled my Spotify sub :)  I don't really care if they don't have all the different music, 20+ million songs is enough for me!

No I didn't buy a USB, is there a special type of cable that I have to buy or can I use any USB2.0 cable?

I just got mine in the mail. Everything looks good but they didn't sent me the right power cable nor a usb cable.

So if we are from Europe we can't win?

Yes I bought it with the uber analog and the usb gen2 upgrade

Quote:   I honestly don't know if it's bright or not, I have nothing to compare it with and T1/A1 is the only system i have heard. I just bought a Schiit audio bifrost, I really hope there is some difference because I don't really like how my favorite band, In Flames, sounds with my current...

Just bought the Schiit bifrot, can't wait to test it. Hope it will do better than my FireStone Audio dac

The amount of work you put into this, you deserve a medal!!! AMP/DACS next :D?

I'm using the T1 with A1 amp and Firestone Audio Fubar2-MKII USB DAC, is this dac a bottleneck in my system?

  I have a question for you Zombie_X, you seems to know a lot about many different amps. I'm currently using the Beyerdynamic A1 amp with Beyerdynamic T1/T70p and I'm looking for a new amp that will produce a little different sound. I really need your expert opinion on what amp I should try, I...

How does it sound?

Testing it on my A1 amp atm and I think it lacks the thump that I like when I listen to certain types of music,maybe its just my setup I don't know. Guess it comes down to preference.  Listen to, Black Sun (feat. Celldweller), let me know what you think. In my opinion they lack bass.
