I just bought an open box set of HD25-Aluminum from Amazon that I couldn't pass up on due to the price.  They did have an extremely loose cup on the left.  I applied this fix to the left cup and to the right as well.  Now I have a nice tight slide on both sides.  Thanks for the tutorial.

Me too! 

They need a little burn in for sure.  Same being said on the D7100.  I have a compatible amp & dac that I use for low impedance phones.  ODAC > Schiit Asgard.  Sounds damn good.  Works great on the D600 & D7100.  The D600 is going up for sale though.  D7100 sounds better to me. 

Agreed! 

I have a sony xb700 in my collection that I was holding on to.  I haven't had time lately to place them on the for sale forums.  PM me if interested and I'll create an ad with pics.

Quote: I love the D5000 with Lawton pads, but they leak a lot of sound and have a stock cord that is very lengthy and unmanageable.  The D600's have pretty good isolation, 2 replaceable cables, and carry the house Denon sound.  I don't think they're worth MSRP, but I did manage to find...

Quote: In my experience, yes.  I have D5000 and D600 and both sound very well with the recommendations from this post.  I use a Schiit Asgard amp for both of these phones.  I have only tried the E11 with the D5000, but I think it would do fine with a D600 as a portable solution.  I...

Quote: I don't mind resoldering the cable to the driver, but I don't see the rubber boot listed as a separate part on the schematic.  I'll see if something might be available through Lawton or D & M.  I take pretty good care of my phones and it disturbs me if some rubber strain relief...

What!  That happened to my D5000 too.  Has anyone figured anything out about the fix?  I have Krazy Glued it in and it works for awhile but I'd like to fix it the right way.

Quote: I'm using the ODAC / Asgard combo with my Denon AH-D5000.  Great match up IMHO.  I went with the ODAC because of it's smaller size and reviews.  I've read that it can go toe to toe with the Bifrost, but I've never got to compare them myself.  I'm definitely a happy camper with this...

I just replaced my E7 with an ODAC by JDS labs so now I have the ODAC paired with the Schiit Asgard amp and Denon AH-D5000's. I can't believe the how much better the D5000's sound with this set up!

Quote: I have a set of D5000 that was paired with the Fiio E7/E9 DAC/Amp combo and I always thought they had bloated bass only on certain tracks.  I kept the Fiio E7 DAC with a Fiio L7 line out into a brand new Schiit Asgard and have noticed immediate improvements.  All of the bloat is gone...
