Solution(?): cover the plastic parts in duct tape the minute I recieve the headphones.

Goodluck with that. The tape won't prevent it from cracking. The plastic gets stressed every time you expand the headband to put them on your head. They're not durable at all.

uggh, for $550, I really hoped that they could have done better

Hi! I have shortlisted this hp, (actually it's the DX2000 which is essentially identical). However, I would like to say that if I were to spend so much on this can, at the dac/amp section, I am comfortable with only spending my cash on the magni/modi price range. I know this ain't some  HE-6 but is it amp picky? 
 
I heard it's slightly north in the treble region, has some awesome soundstage and well, the organic warmth presence in all Jap. woodies. The other reason and of course the most important one the awesome bass I've heard about. By the way, I can get a Denon D7000 for 100 bucks cheaper, any differences (pros or cons)?
 
Thx in Advance

It sounds OK from just about everything, even a Sansa Clip, but will of course reward you if you get a good amp. What has made a reaaly big difference is going balanced, that works wonders..
 
But I wont say it is Picky

Just realised that a purchase of these cans come with an iFi iCan Amp. Btw, wht are the costs of these over at the US or UK? It costs a pretty penny especially the dx2000 is a limited edition one!

I am not aware of any EUdealers that has the DX, so we buy them in Singapore ..

I'm about to pull the trigger on a pair but it has developed cracks in the hinge. How worried should I be about it fully breaking or how much would it be to fix? I read a few pages but didn't find any definite answer

 

[Claus-DK]

There are posts about that subject, one member has glued it together and it seems to hold..
 
I would not buy it unless it was very cheap and I do mean very cheap..

What would you consider cheap? =\
it's about $550 us shipped which is a lot cheaper than anything else I've seen

200 $ would by you a brand new set.
I would never pay more than ½ of the new price for a pair with such a fault, but it depends on how much you want it and how much gold you have lying around.

Where do you see $750 new to canada?
I'd have to get someone to reship it to canada from japan and it's going to be at least $800?
