    Would it be worth it for me to get a DAC?

    Yeah, I will compare the sound quality ASAP and let you know.

    Would it be worth it for me to get a DAC?

    I haven't A/B'd them as I don't have the same music on my iPod as I do my PC (I know weird, it's a long story), I'll get WAV files on both my iPod and PC that are the same and let you know.   I figure because everyone uses an external DAC with the iPod anyways why exactly would it matter...

    Would re-cabling my DT-770s be worth it if I used these cables?

    If that was the case I could just use some of the new cable to cross from the left to the right, couldn't I? :P By the way is there some faster way to communicate on head fi than refreshing my thread list to see when you've responded? XD

    Would re-cabling my DT-770s be worth it if I used these cables?

    By the way If I recable I really want to make it a removable cable...  Like this http://www.head-fi.org/t/643648/beyer-dt770-pro-80-detachable-cable-mod Though I'd have one in each cup.. I've also thought about doing that but with female RCA jacks. I dunno. Out of curiosity do you happen to...

    It wasn't my ears. I wore it backwards to check. Luckily the driver i ruined was the more quiet one so once i get my new driver and solder it on ill check and see if its still somewhat more quiet than the left. If it is, I'll go dual entry.

    Just so you know I'm one of those guys that is a bottomless pit of questions. :)

    Would re-cabling my DT-770s be worth it if I used these cables?

    Is there any benefit to running a cable to each cup instead of one cable to the left? It seemed to me that my left driver had more volume while listening but that might have just been the right driver being weaker.

    Would it be worth it for me to get a DAC?

    I've got limited funds otherwise I would :P. Would I benefit more from getting a FiiO e11, or using my existing Headroom Total airhead and spending more on a DAC?

    Tube vs Solid State Amps

    Ah I forgot to mention I have the 80 ohm version... If I find the treble to be a bit sharp on my ears at times would a tube amp kinda take that feeling away? I'm a fan of textured, warm sound.

    Tube vs Solid State Amps

    Do any of you know whether a tube or a SS work better with a DT 770? I think I prefer the sound of tubes but I haven't ever been able to A/B them. Thanks

    Would it be worth it for me to get a DAC?

    Hey everyone, I'm using Beyerdynamic DT 770's and a Bithead amp that uses AA's. I was looking for ways to upgrade my sound quality (I already use high quality file formats), and Im wondering would getting a DAC be the best SQ upgrade? I listen off of a computer with no sound card and an iPod...

    Would re-cabling my DT-770s be worth it if I used these cables?

    Hey everyone, I recently ruined one of the drivers on my DT 770's (mistook the voicecoil wires for hairs on the driver) and I figured, "Hey, since I have to open these up anyways, should I recable these?" So I came here to ask. I have two types of cable that have been laying in a droor for a...

    Silver Plated Copper Wire - How Good?

    With this post you basically make every affordable wire sound bad.. Are there any good combinations? I'm thinking about recabling my Beyerdynamic DT 770's. Thanks

    Probably the biggest mod ever done to... Part 2: Beyers DT 770 (Woodies, detachable cable, leather headband, minor tweaks).

    Sorry to resurrect an older thread, but I'm thinking of woodying my 770's and was wondering-how did you fix the wood to the plastic part of the cup? Did you dremel the end of the plastic cups off and slide the wood on there or is it covering the original cups entirely? Thanks
