Thanks Fragviper. That confirms it. It's not using the Foster drivers.- tongson

The Denon and Creative have conflicting technical specifications so I'm not exactly sure. A picture of driver would be more assuring.- tongson

Quote: Not really. D1001 go for $150 too. The Image One also has a Mic and better accessories. All we need is a pic of the driver's front side.- tongson

The drivers suspiciously looks like the Foster driver used in the D1000/D1001/CAL!. Same size, shape, specs and price range. Can someone take a picture of the driver without the pads?- tongson

Sabre Dac : MSB underestimate this chip ... Are they right?
Yep the Sabre32 'datasheet' is a two-page marketing blurb. I'd get a DAC from other respected chip makers.- tongson

Foster 443741
Heard the D2000 and D5000. To MY ears they are not interesting compared to the D1001 signature.- tongson

Foster 443741
It's well known that the Denon AH-D1000/1001 and Creative Aurvana Live use the Foster 443741 drivers. Are there any other headphone that use these drivers?- tongson

is there such thing as an "open" iem?
The Sennheiser IE6 are open IEMs. Even my Pro 900 and D1001 have better noise isolation.- tongson

Review of the Audio-GD FUN - A modular Dac / Headphone amp / Preamp
My 8741 and TE module are going to arrive today. I'll hold off putting in the TE module until I have burned in the 8741. Have been listening to the 8740 pretty much non-stop.- tongson

Review of the Audio-GD FUN - A modular Dac / Headphone amp / Preamp
A week or a month makes no difference. They can decide tomorrow that another module is better. When dealing with a fast moving company expect to encounter bad timing.- tongson

Review of the Audio-GD FUN - A modular Dac / Headphone amp / Preamp
Still waiting for my 8741 to arrive. The modded 8740 is serving me well for the moment. I used a 30W soldering iron to short 26 and 27. I applied solder to the wire (to GND) first then soldered it between 26 and 27. Perfect.- tongson

Ultrasone PRO900
Whoa they updated the accessories included? Kernmac, where did you buy your 2nd pair? Can't stop tinkering with these, I'm afraid the screws are starting to strip.- tongson
