Have the 2003 version and sent it off to James aka cantsleep for Cardas treatment.
Not only did he do it single entry running the other channel through the headband but he did a 6" mini to mini extension with 75 or 100 ohms of resistance - can't exactly remember.
I'm running this from an IRiver PDPC through a silver serpent mini-mini to a Mister X battery powered Pimeta he designed for the Beyers.
No a stellar source or top of the line amp but descent and the difference with the cards and impedance is simply staggering. Much better bass, imaging detail, etc.
I know I know - I just got them and am a little euphoric - but it's a marked difference - both the wire and the adapter.
Think I bought the cans for about 150 new - wiring and adapter were some money but easily smokes (IMHO) the Senn 580 and 650 with various cable upgrades.
Basically the adapter gives it a different signature, bass and clarity improved - more refined but less immediate.
The cardas makes it sound smoother - even more organic (that word is tossed around with these for good reason).
In any case - these beg recabling even with a good PCDP and Pimeta (for the record the pimeta was customized for the Beyers and sound better than some more expensive amps I ran - but the point is that there are significant benefits with this - and of course cantsleep's work is simply stunning - truly - thanks!
Edit - silver sperpent (not black serpent - silver serpent with black jacket)
