All I can say is. Lol. :p



Poo,
How's the diyPod?
Any changes?

And how is the blackground & sound signature on your DAC1 via the hp out?
I'm rather interested in the DAC1 as it seems like a great deal with a DAC & amp combined.

So that's what happens when you open an unexpected can of worms by starting a controversial thread...? :wink:

Unexpected? Not quite :p

But no, I'd intended to become a contributor for a while. I've just paid off my Edition 9, and had some USD left over in my paypal account that I sent Jude's way.

Coincidentally, Headphonic mentioned that they might be interested in getting behind the next Sydney meet with some demo gear. After my Ed9 arrives and has been burnt in, I might just cave in and try to organise the next meet as well, and take them up on their offer.

Interesting - didn't know you had an Ed9 on the way. I'd certainly like to listen to them and read your impressions. Your other Ultrasones convinced you to take the plunge?

My MD5000s have been sent off to see if the rattle cause can be found (and hopefully fixed), and my SuperFreqs have been sent off to see if they can get the sound and fit issues fixed. My Boa hasn't returned yet either so I'm back to my HD280 Pros and HD465s out of sound card sockets or the iPod Classic. Music is still enjoyable though :)

I've been eyeing the Opera at Headphonic seeing Meier are having a sale (which is reflected in Headphonic's prices) and it's reported to have good synergy with the MD5000s, but I don't know whether to take the $1200 plunge without the benefit of hearing it (and they don't offer the cheaper model without the DAC, which could be useful for upgrading the DAC separately). If they sent a demo model to a meet I'd be lining up to listen to it...but the rumour is that Meier has the Opera sale because there's a new model on the way.

Yup. After extended listening to the Pro 750 my HD600's are no longer getting any lovin'. And Ed9 has a reputation for being a basshead can, which suits me just fine

D2000 playing Enter Sandman still haunts my dreams.
