Received the player last week. I was pleased that also in my setup the DTS core bitstream is being send to the coaxial output when playing a DTS HD track. But unfotunately there are some other problems.   First is that in the case of a TrueHD track, there is not a standaard Dolby Digital...

Quote:   Thanks a lot for checking this out, oqvist! That is good news. So, just to be sure, if you play a Blu-ray disc and select a DTS HD Master Audio track, it outputs 'regular' DTS bitstream at the coaxial/optical output?   I think i'm going to order this player then ...

@oqvist: Do you happen to know if this player outputs the DTS core bitstream at the coaxial output in case of a DTS HD track? According to the manual it does not. I hope that is incorrect, because it is quite common that players do output the DTS core bitstream at coaxial/optical output ... It...

By the way. It appears that there will also be a black/gray version:  

In the Beyerdynamic store they seem pretty much available, with a delivery time of 3-4 days:   http://europe.beyerdynamic.com/shop/hah/headphones-and-headsets/sports-and-on-the-way/dtx-300p.html?SID=ec28d242e28f88e111c58a261deb666b&___store=en&___from_store=de    

Hmm. I've bought a pair of ATH-ES55 last week after reading lots of positive reviews but to be honest i'm hugely disappointed. I find they sound pretty much muffled, not balanced, not a very open and detailed sound. In my opinion absolutely not worth the € 109 i've paid for. I've compared them...

Ah well they are still listed on the website of German Maestro and also available in their own online shop and other places.

Thanks, ujamerstand, rw-soundsystem.de indeed has some K400 drivers! They go for about €30 a piece. Yay \o/

Hmm, got a response:     A little disappointing. I'm going to mail back, as I asked in my initial mail, if they have some contact in The Netherlands of a company that has AKG replacement parts. Maybe there are still some in stock or so. Especially because the Cimple Spares appears to...

Thanks for your reply and helpful tips MCC. I did mail AKG two days ago, haven't got a response yet, but hey it's summer holiday :o)

Hej,   For some time, I've heard some rattling sound coming from the left channel of my beloved AKG K-400. I first checked if there was maybe some hair or other stuff causing this, but unfortunately that was not the case. Opened up the left can and by accident loosened one of the cables...

Ah well I think I will pass that ATH-ES55 offer on eBay. I've done some searching, including head-fi, and it appears that there are a lot fake Audio Technica's around. I just didn't realise that, as I thought that Audio Technica is not that mainstream to make fakes worthwhile.   Anyone got...

I'm looking for some clean sounding portable headphones, but don't know which one to get yet. Some while ago I got some AKG K414, but they sounded terrible in my opinion (way too bass heavy and recessed mids). After that I got some K324P in-ears, which I could live with for a while, but in-ears...
