If Schiit do do a streamer, if it's based on a Raspberry Pi it could be called 'Schiit Pi', otherwise it could be called 'Schiit Creek' - but that would be breaking from Norse Mythology a little.

I'd love to know if Schiit are seriously thinking of creating a Raspberry Pi streamer. There's not a lot to choose from really and if Schiit can do one that's good and cheap it'll really be a money maker. I know that Jason had said that he wouldn't want to do one (as per John Darko's interview...

Tolis. Apologies for not replying sooner. I'm so glad you tried a few things out - even if they didn't go to plan, I'm still glad you gave them a try. If you ever want anything that you can't get a hold of be sure to let me know and I'm more than happy to send them your way. All the best...

I’m very happy for you. I hope you get many years of pleasurable listening from them. I’m sure the readers on the HDJX10 thread will appreciate your thoughts and opinion greatly too.

Hi Gabzor, Apologies for the length of time in replying. The sponge type of filter as you've pictured was one of the materials I don't have all that much experience with. I thought this type of material looked too dense to use as a filter, which in hind sight is a bit presumptuous as it could...

Tolis! We're still here. I'm a tad busy being a married man with three very young children and a 4 hour round trip to work and back (for the past 12 years), time starts to be a precious resource. OK. If you're in the medical field give Fixomull Stretch a go! Come on mate, it can't hurt, really...

I'll need to take apart my cans to show you how I applied the Fixomull Stretch. While they're apart, I'll go for a couple of new materials to dampen the rear of the cans and see if that can do anything positive. Yes, the filler rod is to be placed inside the leather ear pads to help raise them...

Tolis! Doing well and still kicking around. I've noted that you've been a tad busy with the comments in the thread (and good to see!). With regard to your comments, I'll just answer them below; By removing the circular white felt sticker within the cans, you get a lot of bass as you've noted...

My personal opinion, the most comfortable ear pads tend to be the ones that are made of sheepskin (either Brainwavz or Dekoni). The Brainwavz pads are acceptable (cheaper), and the Dekoni are better (more expensive). Either will suffice. Pleather ear pads are a close substitute. Do NOT get...

Hey Tolis! With regard to the material I used in the ear cups, I'll be sure to send through a photo or two of what and how much I used. The amount used was very little and was not at all thick (about 2mm in thickness if I remember correctly. For giggles I'll try some cotton wool by itself and...

OK. Just continuing on from where I left off. I have been able to carry out the previously mentioned mods as noted above. They were as follows; Acoustic absorbent material in outer ear cup, and Replace the manufacturer’s existing thick white 10mm diameter pads that seal the circular gap that...

I haven't bought the MDR-1A pads but they seem to be the same shape and size of the standard MSR7 pads (perhaps a tad narrower by the look of them). If you want larger, more comfortable pads without the treble and bass issues associated with the larger type ear pads, do two things; Buy and...

I must say that on initial listening tests, your modification is very good! I've converted my pair of MSR7s to their original configuration with the following mods; Brainwavz HM5 leather pads installed. Removed the 10mm diameter white sticky pads from the centre of the ear cup frame (as shown...

I have the HM5 sheepskins and they feel great! I have nothing bad to say about them at all. There might also be a sonic difference between the sheepskin and the pleather versions. I personally haven't tried the pleather. I'd be interested in your thoughts if you do get the sheepskin version and...

Yes! Be sure to give anything a try. There are all sorts of filters that can and should be tried and not just the typical felts that are often used. Perhaps the dense nature of packaging materials might be a tad too much for being a useful acoustic filter. Air filter materials would be a good...
