The mass drop price is very tempting for me. Quick question, how do I connect my iPhone 6 to this dac/amp? I also have a Cypher Labs CLAS-R which has a coaxial input... 

Did you notice any sonic improvements? I recently got a pair of TH900 and plan on just using it with the iPhone or a portable dac/amp setup, so I would really like to get the stock cables replaced due to it being too long and bulky. 

Yeah I'd say it'll peak at around the 5k mark to fully justify what they're selling. I mean what's stopping anyone from putting 20-30 drivers inside, have some reviewers say it's the greatest gift from God, then rinse and repeat a year or two later. I have to admit, this cycle is pretty...

I still have the UE-10 Pro from 10 years ago and been thinking about an upgrade. I've been lurking through the forums on and off and reading about the JHA 13, 16, Roxanne, and now the upcoming Layla. With the constant adding of additional drivers and new ways of cross feeding or whatever, I'm...

Quote: I was guilty of that, but yeah you will always have procrastinators and/or gf/wifey's last minute permissions. Definitely in for the next one in 2014 or sooner.   This was also my first meet and I had a blast. Glad to finally be able to put an actual sound to all the headphones...

Quote: The Earskinz were actually a reverse for me. With it came added bulk which made the fit alot harder. So I guess it is only good for those whose earpods are a little loose. 

Quote: I agree. Maybe when iTunes start selling lossless music, we'll see a new wave of hardware enhancements. Give it another 5 years after there's nothing left to improve.

Thinking about the -db myself. Let us know what your impressions are for your fully balanced setup.

I still love the clarity and details of this headphone. Having an itch to upgrade, Anyone know what would be the full size equivalent? It certainly isn't the HD650 which I recently bought.

If I had the money, I would totally be a snob.

I guess $45 means more to him than a bad reputation... 

Head-fi is almost un-viewable for me on Safari for iPad and Mac. It would just freeze or not load for some reason. Chrome does not work either on iPad, but does work on the Mac. 

I would suggest "Nuclear Waste" as it looks contaminated. Or another would be "Contaminate".   Anyways, so the current status is that this hybrid cable has yet to be produced or even put in use yet? Would love to hear some impressions, I think this is a very innovative approach to combine...

^ thanks. I guess for pics I'll search through this thread.

I've read about the last 15 pages of this thread, but going to the Toxic Cables website, I don't see some of the cables being discussed here: Scorpion, Arsenic, French Silk, the hybrid cables, gauge sizes, etc... Will the site be updated with pics and pricing? I'm definitely interested in...

The CLAS takes any Apple device up to a whole new level. But of course, it takes away from the portability. 

Quote:   lol yeah when are the JH32 coming out? Has custom IEM's reached its peak and there is nothing left to improve on?

Maybe those that go to community college? Or those taking professional exams, in which case one less day of studying will probably not make a difference    Btw, I'm down for attending...

The DT1350 does not need an amp, but my RSA Protector certainly improves on the SQ. I've had mine re-terminated into balanced mode and I could definitely hear the improvements. It was definitely worth the upgrade. 

I'm also debating between the TH900 and HD800. However, I did not get a chance to listen to both of them, so I've only been reading reviews and impressions here. If you had the luxury of hearing them, what else would it take for you to make up your mind? Some of the things I've debated on:  ...

How long did it take for David to respond? I emailed sales@cypherlabs.com a couple days ago and haven't gotten back from him about my CLAS-R problem...   i also sent two emails to TTVJ in a span of three weeks with no response either. I bought the CLAS from them. Kinda disappointing...

Just checked PriceJapan and its $1,557 shipped to the US via EMS. Has the price of these phones been going down? It's still 1,999 on TTYJ.    Also, some have mentioned that there is some sound leakage (i.e. it's not completely closed). Is this due to the pads not fitting properly for some? 

Quote:   I think generally speaking most full sized headphones will outperform IEMs. I have the UE-10 IEM and Beyer DT1350 and the DT1350 sounds better to me, even though they cost 4x less than the UE-10. I think spending the majority of your budget on a good headphone is a good idea. 

Yeah and probably some heating!
