It's interesting at first you wonder if there is any there at all because compared to the stock phones it's much less but it's there and it sounds right and seems in balance with the rest of the sound.
I can't believe that the cable is all that's different between the D5000 and the D2000. Sorry but at that price difference I don't buy it. If it is the case then rock on
I will be taking off the stock terminator tonight to put on a pair of XLR connectors to plug into my GS-X.
One thing to be careful with: I took the ear cup and drivers entirely apart when I did this mod and this meant that I had 8 screws on the table at the same time. I messed up and put the wood cup ones as the mounting screws to the head band but when I tried to correct this the holes were now too big for the slightly smaller original screws. So I had to do a switch and now the wood cup screws are mounting the driver to the head band and the other ones are in the wood cup. It works fine but it's a little different looking. I'll see if there is some way to fix this but I haven't come up with anything yet.

I don't know what you're working with, because I've never seen them... but... you might try this...
Take a small piece of wood (e.g. match stick, or toothpick, etc.), cut it to fit (e.g. length and thickness) and press into the empty screw hole... and... then reinsert the screw and tighten, being careful not to overtighten. The piece of wood does / should not fill the hole... but... just take up some of the space in the hole - say... about half of it, or so.
This will work... if... the screws are self-threading wood screws. If they're metal / machine screws / bolts then it may not... or... it may be more difficult. A match stick will work better because the wood is softer.
You might also use some wood filler, but that is messy and you may have to work more carefully to avoid over filling the holes, etc. Others have suggested using "Lock-tite" - I'm not sure how this would work, but it might.
Of course, you could always go to a good hardware store and see what kind of screws they might have that would be a small bit larger to replace the ones in your ear cups... to leave your headband screws free to replace in the headband. But... it will have to be a "good hardware store" that has a huge selection of hardware. They're out there... but... they're often not a chain - though you might try Home Depot, or Ace - but, I doubt they'll have enough of a selection.
And... you could even just contact the Denon support/service center online and order some headband screws to replace those.
