Is there any kind of brand you like to use? Or would anything off the shelf from some place like Fry's be ok? Any precautions when it comes to using/buying these cloths?
And what kind of maintenance do you do on the cloths themselves? Do you wash them or just buy new ones whenever you need it?

There's really no requirements for cloths lol. Any microfiber cleaning cloth would do. I use one that's used for glasses. Just give it a wipe after wearing it to keep it nice and clean.
I am about to get a TH900. As I prefer a mobile setup, I wonder how the TH900 will pair with a DAP like the AK100 II or something similiar. Any experience here or thoughts about alternatives to the AK100 II?

So I decided to do the shelf liner mod on the TH900 after starting to get hot treble after purchasing a Burson Soloist. So far initial impressions are good... The treble is a bit more tame without affecting too much of anything else. Thanks to @Thenewguy007 for mentioning it in this thread.
Take off the ear pad first, then take off the white ring by turning counter-clockwise.
Try your best not to put strain on the bolt connecting the earcups to the headband while you're manhandling your headphones.
When you put the ear pads back on, make sure the line on the ear pad is aligned correctly. Thin part is on the front, thick on the back.
This is completely reversible.
This is the TH600. But same concept. Make sure the area where you see the seam on the earpad lines up with the silver screw. This makes the thin part of the earpad the front, and the thick part the back.
Here's what they look like after making a perfect circle. Measure out the size of the circle using a ruler.
FYI, I have a friend that recently purchased a TH900. So I will eventually compare the modded version with the unmodded version. Stay tuned.
If the budget was for DAC only, I would have recommended the Metrum Musette or Schiit Gungnir Multibit, perhaps also Resonessence Concero HD.
But then try the Concero HP, or the Furutech ADL Esprit, or the Fostex HPA-8 (if on a good deal), or the Marantz HD-DAC1.
Or a used Chord Hugo or Naim DAC-V1.
I am about to purchase a JDS Labs Element from a fellow headfier, but before I make my final decision, can anyone that owns a TH900 recommend a dac/amp that will perform similar to The Element but without the hiss as some of eluded to. The TH900 are very sensitive to hissing and so am I. I want a black background if possible. I do have limited time as I am in need to provide an answer on The Element at some point today. Any advice would be appreciate.
TLDR: Non hissing dac/amp with similar specs of The Element to drive my Th900's.
