To clarify, I requested the Post movage myself, since I felt it was better suited to reside in the DAC section. Having said that, I got no feedback there, but very much here, so in conclusion here is the post for reference: http://www.head-fi.org/t/619974/amp-recommendations-for-fostex-th900/315#post_12221445 and I continue to discuss this here, since that thread seems to be dead. Oh the shortcoming of Web 1.0! (Discourse ftw)
 
My question remaining is, wheather you guys think that the DAC in the Asus Xonar STX is sub-highend (the amp is as we established) and wheather it is a good investment to look for a different DAC to source the V200 (and the TH900).

i saw your posts a few times. I am not familiar with asus or v200 that may be your lack of response. Try those threads if they exist. A8 and TT are both very good and the A8 is cheap in comparison although i prefer the authority and detail of the TT

From what I read, the only change is in the (now ugly) detachable 7N balanced cabling. Any comments?

 

[Whitigir]

People had been observing and guessing all around the places. But I think it just offer detachable cables ....which my th900 already have

I am really amazed at how many genres these headphones do well. Orchestral music is the most beautiful i have heard it, while rock has excellent intimacy and impact, and rap/electronic/dubstep all have great bass quantity/ impact. I don't think i have listened to a genre that sounds off on these. The sound signature is just so inviting.

PS: Never forget from the halo 3 ost is amazing. Check it out if you enjoy orchestral music.

Looking to see if any TH900 owners can post earcup dimensions, I have large ears and wanted to make sure the fit is right. Thx

Grabbed a tape measure and measured the inner earpad diameter/depth.

2 1/2 inch diameter, and because the earpad is angled the depth is 7/8 inch deep on the thickest part and about half an inch deep on the thinnest part. The depth and diameter were measured to the inner stitching line of the earpad.

They have plenty of room for me. I'm sure i am slightly off in my measurements as i did it quickly, but if anyone else wants to post more accurate measurements go right ahead ^.^

My ears touch the drivers. It sucks. There is no other way around this. Despite that they are very lightweight and comfrotable. The eggshell rocks. Cooler than real leather!

While depth may be a problem, it's unlikely that any of the eggshell padding will touch your ears.

Lawton oversize angle pads may help you. I have a back up pair that i was comped but wont but them on till the egg membrane wears down, over 1.5 years and still perfect condition. But you can look into that.

109 USD is quite steep. Since the original pads are angled already - are you sure they will push the drivers farther away from the ears?

now that i look at them, I had to find them, There just a higher degree of angle. Ie one side is a touch fatter the other side is thinner than stock. So the back is fatter so it might help,... Sorry i was just guessing

Thanks for looking at your angled pads for us. Well I guess its not worth the upgrade if they "may do the job". I can bear the stock a little longer until a suitable upgrade emerges itself.

I'm not sure what the higher angle will do sq wise. I got em free so when the stock wears down, I'll find out.
