Now I have to try the new DT48E just to find out...
I would hate to suggest anyone spend a bunch of money to prove a point, but the really big mystery among DT-48 users, especially those who are more acquainted with older versions, is whether the current DT-48A and DT-48E have the same drivers, and same internal driver housing characteristics. In other words, if you pulled the current designed oval cushions off of a DT-48E and put them onto a new DT-48A, and compensated for any impedance differences, would the 'A' then sound just like or very close to the 'E' version? For DT-48 fans it's not just academic, since if they sounded much the same using the same cushions, it would argue for there being only one DT-48, and fundamentally an audiometric design. If the 'A' did not sound like the 'E' with new-design oval cushions on, then that would argue that the DT-48E was designed for music listening or music monitoring, not audiometry.
