I'm not the type of Head-Fi user who mods a ton, but recently, my Denon D2000 cables has been cutting out on the right headphone. Can anybody suggest a cheap (Under $50) headphone cable replacement? I'm really just looking for something I can easily solder that isn't as long or as thick as the...

Anybody have some spare 7-3: 9H3419100380D BISS2 parts lying around? My poor Denons :(

Still having a tough time deciding to pick these up when I already have (and love) a pair of D2000s. Any other insights regarding TH-X00 vs. D2000?

How do they compare to D2000s?

As someone who loves my Denon D2000s, I'm really considering upgrading to the HE400s. What should I expect? A more "accurate" or "neutral" sound? I love the bass on my D2000s and I'm a bit worried the HE400s will be too sterile for me.   Thoughts?

What genres of music are the HE-300 good for? What are they bad for?

Is there ANY reason I should spend the extra $15 and get the 598s instead of the 558s?   The fake wood and paintjob doesn't seem worth it.

Budget: $150-$250 Type: Open or Closed, Doesn't Matter, Low Impedance preferred Music Type: Indie Rock, Electronic Music   I'm looking for headphones with a lot of character and fun, I'm not necessarily looking for something neutral. I just want indie and electronic/techno music to sound...

Quote:   I have a small speaker receiver that I use my headphones with that's currently connected to my computer.

I'm pretty sure I know the answer but I have a question:   I have a pair of Denon D2000s that are low impedance. What would provide the biggest improvement in sound: a Schiit Asgard amp or a Schiit Bifrost DAC, assuming my source is a MacBook laptop.   I think the answer is the DAC but...

I have to say, Schiit has done a really good job with their product line for people like me - strictly digital listeners who want an amazing setup for under $1000.   I realize a lot of audiophiles around here don't hold onto equipment for a long time but I just don't see myself getting a...

I realize the tech is new but I'd be interested to see how well thunderbolt ports would perform compared to USB.

Do you know of any good HDMI -> TOSlink/Coax or even Mini Display Port to TOSlink/Coax?   Quote:  

I'm in the same boat as you, I'm waiting to see what people say about the D-Zero.   A couple people have mentioned it and I'm curious, what's a "ZO" everybody is talking about?

I've had "expensive" headphones for 5 or 6 years now and I've always purchased low impedance headphones so things like laptops can drive them. I currently own the D2000s, which has a really low impedance of 25 ohms.    What advantage do high impedance headphones have? Are they really that...

I'm having a hard time deciding if I should get the Asgard or the Valhalla. I currently only own low impedance headphones (Denon D2000s) but I'd like the possibility of driving higher impedance headphones down the line. Schiit's FAQ says the Asgard is more neutral and I'd much rather have a...

When I had my DT880s, I was using the Zero DAC/Amp and I honestly wasn't that impressed with them. They had a better build quality than the D2000s but I'm pretty pleased with the D2000s. I plan on dropping $900 on the Schiit Lyr & Bifrost so I don't think power will be an issue.   Is the...

Has Schiit ever talked about what headphones the use to test their DACs/Amps?

Is there ANY way to get quality sound out of a laptop that doesn't have optical out? It's a shame USB can't compare to SPDIF

Quote: Thanks for the advice. I actually already own a turntable/pre amp. I'm definitely looking to get an amp/DAC (probably a Schiit) but for the time being, I'd like to try out some new headphones. Do you really think the SR80i is worth dumping a bunch of money into? It's a pretty cheap...

I've owned:   Grado SR-80s (loved) Beyerdynamic DT-880s (didn't really like, too sterile/flat/boring) Denon D2000 (currently own and love)   I'm looking for my next "step" in terms of headhphones and was considering the AKG K702. How do they compare to the headphones I've had before...

I owned a pair of DT880s and sold them off for a pair of D2000s. I was much happier with the D2000s - the DT880s were just too flat and sterile for me. The D2000's are more "fun" to listen to and have character.

Has anyone compared this amp/dac straight up with the Audinst HUD-MX1?

Does anyone know how the HUD-MX1 compares to the HiFiMan EF2? Looking for an amp for my D2000s.

Looking to pick up an EF2A for my D2000s and I was wondering - is there a consensus on some good replacement tubes for the EF2A? Something not too expensive?
