So, I can get these for around $350... I use ah-d2k now and it's always fun to upgrade and I can't seem to find any d7100 vs d2000 anywhere so, is it worth the upgrade soundwise? 
I plan to keep my d2k as long as they work.

At that price, it's worth a try. I don't think you'll notice a huge improvement though.

I just got D7100 coming from D600, and they're amazing. Im running them on iPhone 6 and iPad air 2. With spotify extreme 320kbps ogg vorbis. Ive tried something called wimp hifi 1140kbps. I can hardly tell The difference, tried blindtest also.

Will i get more/better sound if i get a dac/amp ? Wich one should i get? Or does my units have good enough dac/amps? (I Get loud volume)

I wouldn't bother with a DAC/Amp. I got fed up with the bulk of it all and a fiio E12 amp wasn't an upgrade to my iPhone 4S.
Also had problems with the amp picking up interference from the phone signal. I did buy an IBasso DX100 DAP which I still use for more critical listening - mainly in bed at night.

I myself am looking forward to paring my D7100 to the new Denon DA-10 DAP.

I ordered this:


1 Denon DA10 D/A-konverter (DENDA10PS)

Looking forward to test

Do you have the Denon DA300USB at home? I have that, I have a feeling that the DA-10 is just a portable version of the DA300USB with higher gain.

I dont have DA300USB, the guy in the store told me i could connect with the lightning cable from iphone to DA10 and denon 7100 with mini jack in the da10, will it work?
 
And i wonder if this dac will give me better sound than straight from my iMac ?

correct, you wire your iphone to DA-10 via lightning cable, and then DA-10 to headphone via mini jack
 
Let me know how it sounds when u get it, I'm getting one myself, but amazon arent stocking them yet and I'm not willing to drop extra $200 for the import charges to australia.

Been testing it for 3 hours now With lossless and 320kbps. I can hardly tell dirrerence with or without The amp on my iPhone 6. It gives alot more volume, but cant say that is gives noticeable better sound.

one thing I noticed when I listen to my lossless track on my DA300USB instead of m y iphone 6 is that I get a more dynamic sound.

Did anybody try to use upgraded cables? Silver or more advanced copper one?

Is it possible to adjust the bass section? (make it less bummy)

what does it mean?

what does it mean?

it means u have been sucked into audiophoolery and I have no comment

 

[Gibalok]

So you don't believe into cables ? Or do you consider 7100 as a crappy product?
I have choosen that against Audio-Technica w5000 since its flat refined sound. Since im a bass head consider 7100 as good choice but shoukd be combined carefully with Amp or adjusted with right cables.
