I ran across this pretty thing while surfing for a SACD player. The pre-amp in the middle is said to have headphone out. Unfortunely, I can't find other info regarding spec or price on the site If this thing sounds as good as it looks ... -- hiccup

Thank you for sharing your preliminary impressions about the W11R. Be patient with your W11R, the harshness and brightness will be lessened and disappeared. The W11R is not just another "pretty-face". Looking forward to your full review. -- hiccup

You gents have my sincere apology if I have inadvertently put anyone under the spot light...I read the original HD600SE/HD700 post once and didn't realize that it had been deleted. I have edited out my post accordingly. FWIW, it was the original post about HD600SE/HD700 that got my interest in...

I have been keeping an eye out for the HD600SE since I first saw it mentioned in a post awhile back. That is why this "catchy" ad got my attention. sigh.

Is this a "new" version of HD600 or just this year's run of the same HD600?

Which sound brighter, the w11r or w100? Sorry I have no idea...to make that comment one really need to do an A/B comparision. FWIW. after the currency exchange rate, duty tax, this tax that tax tax tax tax...I only have to pay $500CAD/$320USD to my friend (who picked it up in Japan) for the...

The bass-shy characteristic of w11jpn/w11r seems to be consistent with my findings of the w11r when doing an A/B comparision with the 7506. OTH, it is also worth pointing out KurtW's quantified remark about w100's bass. He mentioned the w100 has a "a big boost in the 50 to 200 Hz range which was...

I have the w11r but not the w100. So I can't offer any direct comparison. However, comparing my impressions with the w11r and what others had written about the w100, I can't say the w11r has any significiant (if any) improvement over the w100. This is to be expected(?), since the price...

i didn't (and still don't?) believe in break-in/burn-in. however, there are the few things that make me go umm.... i got my new ath-w11r phone monday morning, everything sounded pretty good except it had no bass at all. so in hoping that it is because of the lack of burn-in, i started the burn...

no apology is needed, Atom. i didn't find your post rude at all. beside don't you find a little weird apologizing to a hiccup! i mean you apologize for hiccuping but to a hiccup, nah...that doesn't sound right as for burn-in the w11r, i don't think (sure hope so) it is _not_ near it's...

dang! after all the trouble i have my friend gone through, audiocubes carries W11R now!!!

<flamebait> what!?! atomicarnage is being sacrastic!?! no! i think not. that punk is just plain rude! </flamebait> btw. the lack of bass problem is not from the $50000 soundcard (does the extra zero gives that soundcard more credit? ). it sounded the same with my regular source and amp...

My friend just got back from Japan and dropped off the W11R to me (at work) this morning. I don't have my usual source or amp here at work; however, I am too weak to resist plugging that can into the $5? soundcard to get some initial impressions. Also, all my comments of the W11R are based on my...

Once again, thank you for all your help Jim!
