Jason hooked me up with a pair of their Beyerdynamic "Custom Cans Uber DT990 headphones with modified drivers and a detachable, balanced, 4-pin XLR litz cable," to go with my pro audio setup. I come from the music mixing/mastering world, so I was looking for something that had the power, air, dimension, dynamics, frequency range, and soundstage of studio monitors. The idea was to get them ruler flat and actually make them sound like I was working in a perfect studio room.
Here is the meat of how it was acheived:
- Custom Cans modded Uber DT990 headphones
- A Revive Audio Platinum Package mod for a Universal Audio interface.
- A modded (permission not given to reveal the name) Massdrop Alex Cavalli Liquid Carbon X headphone amp
- Custom cables made by ProAudioLA from Grimm TPR with Neutrik Gold Connectors (3-pin XLR L/R balanced inputs and a XLR balanced 4-pin output).
- Waves Abby Road 3 plugin (brings the acoustic environment of the legendary control room to headphones)
- SonarWorks custom headphone measurement plugin
I tried 4 other supurb sets of headphones with this exact setup and NOTHING compared to the Custom Cans headphones.
