Just received my grey Color Series HPC cable for my hd800 last evening. The packaging, linen bag, business card and warranty card inside an envelope is simply 10/10, and the cable itself looks great :)   It's sleek, feels sturdy and doesn't really add any unwanted weight to the headphones...

It won't affect anything except your wallet. Buying a "audiophile" 0.75m USB cable is like buying sand in sahara (I'm trying to make a terrible comparison) as the main issues with USB arise once you go outside the specs of max USB cable length and there's too much delay.   Edit: the limitation...

I'm sure audiophile usb cables adds to the wow factor of your setup, but the difference is only cosmetic. Any USB cable built within the USB standard for quality (copper thickness, twisted pairs etc) and length will do the job just the same (for data transfer) provided there are no defects in...

You need an audiophile USB controller (you will also need to shield it using tinfoil lined with something that will insulate the pcb) that only runs your dac so that no other usb devices connected to your computer can interfere with your dac.

If everyone could afford the top of the line models right here and now, then where would the fun be?   Also, the people who going "OMG, YOU SPENT 1000€ ON HEADPHONES" are often the same people who buy 60" plasmas to be used in a confined space with bad lighting/window positioning making the...

Can't be too carefull.   Friend of mine lost his HD595s like that. She dumped him, and he hasn't seen them since. Last time I checked he was using icemat siberia gaming headphones.   Quote:  

  I think that this describes running hd800s with a essence stx pretty well.  Lovely cube on its way.

I decided to upgrade from my hd580s (after 8-9 years of heavy everyday use), yesterday as I got a super deal, only 1,328.95 USD in a store (wich means I can afford to eat until my next paycheck :D).   My eardrums are kinda hurting after 10 hours of listening as the sound feels very sharp...

KOSS UR-40, didn't realise how terrible they were until I got my hd580s back in 03.

Seems it was just a custom order thingy, it was actually 32ohm when I measured it.   Thanks for the response, I guess I'll have to get a halfdecent USB soundcard for the laptop.

Thanks for the replies guys,   I have the pro version, and the only listed models in the brochure were 250 and 80. (allthough webshops with the same supplier lists they have a pro 32ohm version http://www.prisguide.no/sok?pg-q=dt+770+pro+32ohm&n=0 )     I think I have a multimeter...

Hello,   I recently purchased a DT 770pro for my mother for christmas, and she was going to use it for her stereo and laptop, so I decided to get the 32ohm model. They sounded very underwhelming on the laptop, and I noticed I had received the headphones in a box that said "DT 770 Pro 80...
