Welcome to my inaugural post. I've been lurking this board for a while and I really dig the vibes! I've been enjoying my first pair of IEM's for a little under a year now, but I've gone through a succession of crummy cables. I started with a generic one off of eBay, and I've moved up to one's...

I am trying to build a simple switch to have a single headset (sennheiser) with a TRRS end that will swap between at least two source (desktop vs. laptop). I bought a Sescom switch and them bought a 4P3T switch to replace the original one after I encountered audio issues, but I had the same...

Hello 👋 Im wondering if anyone had tried any of the chinese planar drivers on AliExpress. I have only used dynamic drivers so far and the price is a bit beyond those for the planars so some input would be very appreciated. I am especially interested in these which seem to have a pretty flat...

Hi there, So, I'm looking to have some ear impressions made for maybe custom IEM tips or whatnot, but the problem is that there are no profecional shops where I can have impressions made in my near vicinity so I'm pretty much left with DIYing it. To get to the point, does anyone know where I...

I have moved on from creating my own modification of an modified version of Borealis clone so of course I have deleted my TinkerCAD and the files from there. Moved onto using another already popular project that costs to get the files.

I've got some DT770's that the jack broke on. Went to Musician's Friend and bought a new one and soldered it on and it lasted about a week (prob my soldering). That was the last they had in store. Is there a big difference in audio quality with 1/4 jacks? Do "no solder" jacks suck? Is there...

Build 3D model

guys, is it a good choice to diy a single-ended headphone cable with any unbalanced cable (eg: mogami w2528 dual )? I recently found a mogami w2528 cable lying around & thought of diy a headphone cable, I just want to know is it good thing to use shield as the ground for the each headphone...

Greetings fellow humans. I have long been developing unique and cutting edge audio stuff solo but I have long dreamt of the day where I would meet someone legitimately interested in audio design such as I to combine two brains into one. My question is simple. Is there such a person out there...

I'm looking for a dap with no radio frequencies - no wireless connectivity whatsoever and no mic, work requirements. I'm looking for a dap to run some iems, blessing 2s, and potentially some fiio fhe (the fiio x crinacle) or some other cheaper more disposable headphones like kz or whatever...

Great news for the headphone DIY community; Pete Millett has released his Sengaku design as a DIY friendly offering on his site: http://www.pmillett.com/sangakuDIY.html The original was a TTVJ offering in 2016 for $2K. Changes include swapping SMD for through-hole components and ditching the...

Hi all, I was wrapping up my project tonight of converting my V6 to a female jack instead of that damn coiled cord. Already made my first 1/8" stereo cable last night which works great and was adding the jack to the headphones tonight. Removed the coiled cable, tapped the threads and screwed...

Hi, I would like to make my own DAC, but I don't know where to start. The only thing I know is that I would like to use ES9038PRO (which I can buy at Mouser). But that is the only thing I know for sure. Are there any schemes for balanced DAC's that I can use as a reference? Any help would be...

My Bl03 has a driver flex and I think it's because of the vent being blocked by my ear. Some say it's the death of an IEM. :( If it is indeed so, I have low hopes for it being replaced so I'm looking ahead now for possible fixes. One of it is to reshell the drivers into a more agreeable...

So my AD900x have been great to me ever since I bought them but the only issue was that the wire was so damn finnicky and would twist on itself. Well my wire finally started ripping because of it twisting so I searched for a way to replace it and found this thread on here to replace the wire. I...

TL;DR: Found endgame for cheaps, Stink to high heaven, tried all the things, no dice. So, I love nearly the entire Foster Group line - alot. I have owned or have loaned near all in the line-up - but the one I loved the most, the ones that kept me up at night locked in a 1000 yard stare towards...

Hey, So I have been working on this protective guard for Abyss Diana V2/Phi which should help with the paint chipping issue that many users are experiencing. I am still working on tuning the fit and will keep the update going on this thread. This project has no affiliation with the company Abyss...

Hey, all! About ten years ago I sent off my HiFi 780s to have the cable shortened. I was in college at the time, and I was sick of stuffing the ~7,000 ft factory cable in my jeans every time I wanted to take my headphones for a walk around campus. I got the cable lopped off to a more manageable...

If you frequent the DIY forum here, then there's a good chance you know about Kevin Gilmore and his contributions to the DIY design library. From Dynalo to Dynahi, to top of the line electrostatic amps like the KGSS and it's fancier cousins. Less known are his current feedback designs for...

I just want to preface this with a little paragraph. I literally do not know what I am doing. I read a little on how planars work, that's the information I've started with. I've seen the DIY planar thread and have taken some inspiration from that to design my own set of drivers, and the...

I know this post should be in the DIY thread however I can't seem to post in there yet! Sorry If i'm posting this in the wrong place. I bought a pair of beyerdyamic DT990 Pros second hand from eBay. The guy said nothing was wrong with them but it's partly my fault for being that gulluble he...
