Fair point re: biocellulose. However, I'd argue microdetail doesn't really have anything to do with tuning and is all to do with technical capabilities of the driver. Also "better" is so subjective, the tuning is different.

Interesting to note you think that the tuning of the 7200 is linear. I need something flat and reference to go alongside my NightHawk. Do you have any more comparisons of the 7200 vs other popular cans to help gauge the sound signature? Cheers!

If you can be more specific and if I'm familiar with the headphone you mention, I'd be more than happy to compare.

Back again to another question if some owner of these and the D7000 in the past - The D7000 which i own are not open back but they do 'leak' lots sound, are the D7200 better in this case?

These leak too. They're not the best for isolation but are better than open back.

IF you get a proper seal, sound leakage is there but not very distracting. Just tested it at listening level.

There's no way the bass distorts on these. The bass on these is accurate and impactful, especially when called upon. I wasn't a fan of the Oppo PM3's because I found them dull and the treble too rolled off. But the bass on them was very good. The bass on the 7200 is even better. It sounds like Planar bass to me. I think that has to be a quality of biocellulose drivers and then the free-edge diaphragm takes it up an extra notch. It's not bloated or exaggerated, but it's very tight and high quality. These cans have a very low distortion rating. I love everything about these but if I was forced to pick one favorite attribute, it would have to be the bass. To my ears, it's absolutely perfect.

So I had the crazy long cable shortened to 5 feet and reterminated to a 3.5 trs. I also bought a Beyerdynamic audiophile cable as a back up. I know someone posted about this earlier and there were concerns as to whether or not it would fit the Denon's. Well I can assure you all that it fits perfectly and works brilliantly. This cable is also 7N OFC quality. Here is a link for anyone who might be interested in a more portable cable with no loss of quality.

Nice, if it indeed works perfectly then thanks for testing it out for all of us.

Thanks for sharing your findings!
 
I've been after a shorter cable myself and was about to order one from Forza so the timing of this is good. Didn't want to spend a lot of money as I'm buying purely for ergonomic reasons rather than looking for audible gains so have decide to give this one a go. Can always sell it on if it doesn't work out.
 
Should receive it tomorrow from Amazon. I'll likely connect both cables to the Mojo and run one channel from each into the D7200 to see if I can detect any audible differences between the two. Not really expecting there to be as I'm sure they're both well made.
 
Edit: decided to cancel the order and might try the Meze cable that Satir linked to instead. Will keep the Beyer in mind though.

Glad I could help! It's a great cable. I can't discern any difference in sound quality between the two. I'm interested in seeing if you can. Let us know!

1.2m cable $20 + shipping. Both 3.5mm headphone plugs single-banded (mono) looks correct for the Denon under discussion. 

Meze Cable is great, I prefer the sound of Meze Cable than the stock cable.

 

[HungryPanda]

I use the Meze cable as well

How does the Meze cable change the sound so that you prefer it?

 

[emergencylies]

How do these compare with the mm400?

Meze cable makes D7200 sound less flat, more lively despite a slight degrade on transparency.
