    DAC mod tips?

    Hello, Just got this lousy cheap DAC from AE (12 USD), based on the SA9023 and ES9018K2M.

Also, I was looking for something that was powered from USB only...

    Headphone Repair / Upgrade - DIY plug Help?? (UE 6000)

    Hi HF - I have a set of ultimate ears UE6000s. One of my earliest forays into nicer headphones. It, of course, has that shoddy 1.8" connection in the right ear and I haven't been able to keep them working well.

    Brand new DT990 rattling sounds.. DIY fix attempted, please help.

    I've recently purchased a DT990 250ohms, and I noticed during sine wave testing that the left driver produces a weird (distinct rattling noise) at 0 to 27Hz (which becomes EXTREMELY clear when driven loudly), I've tried shaking and blowing on the driver, this changed it but only minutely (it...

    Tinning litz wire without a consumer solder pot

    What are people's DIY approaches here? Not interested in mechanical or chemical stripping. Are most people just using their iron and making do with the mess? What about a small DIY pot? I was thinking of finding a fairly small diameter copper plumbing end cap and heating it on my camping...

    Replacement Pads for Koss K-6

    I found a pair of Koss K-6 at an antiques store and impulse bought them. Now I'm trying to refurbish them. There is a crackle when the cable is moved and they only work when the cable is in one particular position, so I will be either redoing the connections or the entire wire, but I digress...

    Impact of Incorrect Soldering of Triple drivers

    Hello Head-fiers, I have a random question for you all. If you had an IEM multi driver (one of those ones you see that have 1 or 2 drivers stuck together) would it matter if you soldered the pads incorrectly? By incorrectly I mean if you soldered a cable directly on to one of the drivers and...
