Drop (formerly Massdrop) also has their 32 ohm 177x go version. That has decent pricing too.

At the end of the day, it's still pretty expensive. Sometimes getting a "Used - Like New" DT 1770 on Amazon gives you a good deal. Right now it's definitely not the lowest I've seen, so it's best just keeping an eye out. Subscribing to eBay notifications for used Beyerdynamic on the market is...

No problem. Like I said, it's a bit of time, but you could save money if you order it yourself. There's small quirks I think I forgot to mention too, but here's a few things to help you out on saving some time. It's easier to source the parts (part numbers) from the German website than the...

Oh boy. It's been a long time since I've logged on. Yes, there is a way. There's alawys a way for people that are handy with mods, but if you are not, then there still is a way. The DT 1770 pro headband has a plastic guide/guard that prevents the metal from causing pressure there, while also...

That has 250 ohms of resistance

Yes, they are identical. I think that massdrop produces a low impedance beyerdynamic 177x headphone. It's quite a lot more expensive than the COP, but it's cheaper than the original 1770 and has 32 ohms of impedance. Don't know when it'll drop next, but keep an eye out for it.

Mouser.com is where I buy all of my connectors (and circuit board LEDs) from. They have every connector known to man, and you can filter your search for some pretty cheap ones (deals you can't find anywhere else). I'd highly recommend using them for DIY projects.

It's unfortunate that the 10% off promotion code that Monoprice had expired today. Anyone that ordered with it yesterday got lucky.

Happened to me too (not the RMA bit, but the rest). I felt like the cables weren't detachable enough for those cans if you know what I mean.

I think that I found a solution for issue #2 back in these post:

I never use the RCA input

@franz12 It could mean that it'll measure better, I won't say as to whether or not you'll be able to hear the minute difference.

Does anyone have a link for that firmware update?

Yup, works on my really old iMac.

Okay, so I can confirm that the +75 ohm impedance cable works very well with my sensitive iems, and I cannot hear the distortion with the source volume turned down low, and amp volume all the way up. With the cheap volume control cable, not so much. I think it did make some difference, but it...

They sell 75 ohm impedance adapters like that on Amazon. They work with any 3.5mm device. This is the one I use: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00A2QJL0C Though I believe that a cable/adapter with a volume pot basically does the samething. Adjusting the volume pot change the resistance thereby...

That's the first time I've seen a coupon for a newer item. Usually, they would have sitewide discounts that take a percentage off all items in your checkout cart, but it would always exclude certain products.

I tried out my etymotic Hf5 paired with this, and I definitely hear a a flat noise floor when plugged in (that doesn't change when I raise or lover the volume). It becomes even more noticeable once I put on my hearing protectors over my Hf5s for added isolation. When I watch a YouTube video with...

I have a modified pair of DT 1770s that have top-notch isolation, and all I hear is air foil and environmental noise from outside my house. I'll try using a pair of my sensitive iems under my hearing protectors next.

It probably doesn't mean much, but it must still be worth it if companies still use it. They probably know what they are doing, and the cost is likely outweighed by the benefits in some way or another. Hopefully, when that changes in the future they'll stop using it

Not returning this amp specifically, but another item that I ordered through Monoprice (mentioned earlier in this thread) has taken 6 days with no response whatsoever. So I called in and apparently my specific issue was transfered over to the the technical department from the RMA one, and they...

I wouldn't be against that :) I also wouldn't be against them adding a remote while they were at it. Maybe one that controls everything: volume, inputs, Dirac, EQ (+ or - dB for all your presets), and line out. Not nativagtion controls, like dedicated buttons. I would not be against it :)

I've been trying to return something that I ordered along with the Monoprice THX, they said it takes 3 days max but it's been over 5 -_-

Okay, I figured out how to set off the Over Current Protect feature. It happens when your headphone output cable isn't plugged in properly or when you pull it out while it's outputting a signal. I'm glad I finally figured that out.
