Very interesting ideas. Once reviewing the list of woods and desired capabilities, I think the Padauk would be an excellent choice for this kind of headphone - hard but porous BUT you are shipping with Teak so you must think a softer wood is better and of course I should defer to the designer...

For the Burson I'd try the DAC out and see if that'll do the loop. For the Mojo you need to press the volume buttons down while the Mojo is booting to get line out level through the 3.5mm and then it is 3.5mm to twin RCA to Loki to Burson as technobear stated.

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY! Very interested. A stack of Schiit might be nice.

Due to a flood many years ago all of my records are in unlabeled sleeves and some don't even have sleeves. I own more late 90s techno than I'd care to count but haven't played any of it in 15 years. And yet I just recently revived my 1200MK2 with a $400 cartridge and it sounds very good...

I just want to point out this is IEMs explicitly. The items that have significant excursion (speakers, full size headphones) are possible for burn in to matter because of the actual physical characteristics of the materials. Burn in of cables still smells like BS tho. Do enough to verify...

  I have the JH 11 but no reference to tell how they compare to something like the Layla. However, I am very tempted by the Lola.

I was curious was NS10s were and found a lovely site with the following description: "They've got anything but a flat response, but the idea is that when you get a mix perfect on a pair of NS-10M's, that mix will be perfect everywhere."   HAHAHA.  I'm guessing those speakers are subjected to...

The Rin Choi articles are fascinating around this subject. There are differences measured but for some the differences are tiny. Differences in 'pad crushing' would be more dramatic and I recall Rin mentioning the same in one of the articles...

IF you are saying that the differences between 2 pairs of the same model will vary more than the differences between different models, without burn-in even being a factor, then... what's the point of rating a headphone model at all? I'm hoping that's not your position.  The whole point of the...

I recall an advert on the front page for a testing device/service available at Can Jam (SoCal?). Seems that's our chance to see how it works. First you need a baseline - pick 3 headphones people rate as excellent and 3 that people rate as average. If at all possible, make all these headphones...

I think the only way to prove this is 1) have a 100% accurate way to test headphones 2) apply it before and after burn in.   Anybody got #1 all set?   No?  Well, get on it...

ty ranfan for finally commenting on the article that has some measurements!   However small the measurements showed the changes to be (and maybe the manufacturer sent already burned in headphones as the sample, let's assume they didn't) there were still changes.  Do we have measurements on...

Wow, the parts list from ProtegeManiac plus a few cables, couple passive crossovers, some wire and some know-how on creating enclosures would get you a pretty good overall system for about $350.    Or get the pre-packaged thing but it won't be nearly as good.  

The Pioneer SP BS-22 are supposedly really nice, but I dunno about nearfield. The Swan system referenced above is prolly about right overall...

  Just been doing some A/B testing with that today. At first there was a difference; the computer was sub-par... BUT... turns out computer had 128kbps set on while iPhone has 320kbps set. Once both on 320 they sound the same using the Mojo. Either way I'm using the USB to drive the Mojo...

I like the Mojo quite a bit and bought it specifically so I wouldn't need to make a harder decision (it is ranked very high by everybody who reviews it).  So can't tell you if worth it to upgrade (or sidegrade) to the Mojo.   However, I expect you'll get more overall enjoyment getting the...

-The Apple Lighting devices that you possess iPad Air 128G, iPhone6 Plus 128G, iPhone6 SE 64G, Macbook Air   -Why you would like to try i1 Have heard difference in sound with 6+ using a Chord Mojo but it is too cumbersome for easy portability.  If the i1 is better than the iPhone6 sound...

1) I believe in burn-in for speakers.  I think I've seen it work. BUT I have ZERO hard evidence to support this.  For my most recent speakers (Martin Logan bookshelf) burned them in for the recommended time.  2) I burn in using random music from my collection at higher volume than I'd normally...

Have used CCK with iPhone6 and Chord Mojo.  Didn't notice a difference compared with laptop, did notice difference compared with iPhone alone.    Don't have an iPhone7 nor easy access to one, so don't know how I'd test same as your setup.

Just got these last night.  Listening to 320K MP3 via Slacker Premium streaming or 256kbps AAC iTunes   They need burn in.  Sounded veiled last night, burned in overnight (14 hours now) with high volume mix of things using my iPhone6 as source.  Much better now.   I have Chord Mojo (2 weeks...
