The main reason I wanted the Classics was due to the channel balancing, tuning and upgraded jack. Top this off with the ZMF Pads & Headband ... Zach has basically fixed everything wrong with the mk3 sets. I jumped on these because it accomplished most of those traits but with wooden cups...

It would decrease efficiency in theory, driver has to push more air around.

All I know is that the noise floor is virtually inaudible and the DAC is the most neutral I've ever owned. After wasting countless money and time with Schiit Audio (They really need to remove the 'c' from their name) I finally jumped on the NFB11 and couldn't be happier.

Ah, I guess I was assuming everyone was buying theirs new ... I purchased mine earlier this year directly from Audio-GD. If you have an older version this would make sense I suppose. Edit: Just realized I posted the wrong driver link in my earlier post ... epic fail. Here is the correct one...

The below upgrades have included in the NFB-11.28 default version . 1, Upgrade the DA chip from ES9018 to newest ES9028. 2, Upgrade to Amanero combo 384 (official price is USD97 exclude shipping cost) from the USB32, Amanero is the best compatible USB interface in world, and we are consider it...

I can assure you none of this is necessary, use the right version of the USB drivers and it will work without a hiccup. The older USB module was designed around Vista I believe causing issues with later versions of Windows. I did the song and dance of all these guides posted online, was a...

Any tradeoff with the bass?

Hahaha I dont even think I own a belt that nice.

I'm going to pull the trigger on some ZMF Ovals, might try the cowhide. Has anyone tried the ZMF cowhide headband? I cant seem to find much info on it anywhere :(

You have to stretch them quite a bit before putting them on, it’s not just a problem with the fostex. I had a hell of a time with my beyers, but no problem after stretching my second pair thoroughly.

Just use these drivers if your having issues: http://www.audio-gd.com/Pro/dac/Amanero/AmaneroEN.htm This is for the latest version ...

Indeed.

Mine were modded as well, the pads resolved the issue of the poorly manufacturer stock ones that fail to create a seal resulting in the bass to roll off severely. Treble was always an issue no matter what was done.

My old SHP9500's used to make me cry from the amount of sibilant treble they were jamming down my ear canals.

Pulled out some old favorites today to do some quick comparisons. One of these went back into their box very quickly ... the more expensive pair :) Edit: Forgot to mention this but the Senn's are quieter without touching the volume knob :thinking:
