Yeah, as the title says, a new monster of headphone has born....
Making some test with my recent adquired Denons. At first, i find it sounded as a boom boom box, with some recessed mids, very bright highs and shalower soundstage. A very good, but prominent low and midbass obscuring the mids (and the micro details in the music). It was opening up, after of various hours of burn in. But even so the low and mid bass is very prominent....
Then a little ago, i was experimenting a little; trying the DT990 velours that i have in my headphones, and i put them + the beyers foams in the Denons and viceversa by curiosity, to see what could happen.... Well, i find at first that this headphone sounded very sibilant with very bright mids and highs and with little bass; but now they have been settled down. Making this headphone sounded better as never imagined. Definitively a different Headphone...
This headphone sound as the DT990, but with a deeper and a little bit more bass depth (More now with my Denon AH-D5000 Cable) and a lower midbass presence with a little more weight in it (again, more with my current Denon cable); and slightly stronger upper bass, but with a little less midbass (i think that between the DT880 and DT990). The mids and highs have more presence that before. And the best of all, is that they have a LOT more soundstage, much wider and deeper, and is a LOT more spacious, and airier and much more holographic, than the stock Denon, which sounded something constricted/closed in, in comparisson. Even this soundstage and headstage is bigger and more coherent than my DT990 in stock form, being it more spacious (and a little bit more airier too), wider and deeper too.
The comfort was improved too. They are much more comfortable with the velours than in my DT990 and viceversa (i find the DT990 more comfortable with the Denon leathers too....).
Resuming, this headphone sound as my DT990 but brighter in higher volumes (much more than that my DT990 reach in my amp) but with less sibilance, faster and with more microdetails (even more with the current cable), which wasn't there in the Denons and DT990 in stock form. With a bigger and more spacious soundstage, compared to my DT990, and much more than my Denons.
This result, was a very positive and unexpected result, that be got with this "Mod" (My second).
And that that this headphone still haven't completed his burn in time (it have to settle down a little bit more), but this sound is improved at each minute that it pass.
Definitively a very nice mod that is recomended to do...
