I have heard that the D1001s get noticably better with a recable, so good luck! When you've got them open, you might want to consider "markl" modding them with some dynamat. I've been tempted to order some myself as these cans' resonance is a bit out of control at times.

Too bad you didnt use the money you spent on the over priced ALO dock cable to enable you to get the D2000 instead of the D1001.
I just cant beleive what people spend on all that over hyped ALO stuff, bunch or fairy dust BS.

From ALO Audio? Strange, cause his least expensive LOD seems to be the Bling Bling Dock at $55...

if you want more bass out of the D1001, try the markl mod specifically designed for the D1001. Lining the inside of the cups with dynamat helped to bring out the bottom end quite a bit.

Get a Creative Aurvana Live! No, seriously, according to those who heard the two side by side they are almost the same sounding (they use the exact same driver units) but it is more bass-heavy and cheaper so it clearly offers better value. I can certainly confirm that it has a lot of bass(I could hardly imagine the need for more than that). For me, it is more bass heavy than the already bassy D2000. Can't image a different cable would make more bass, it rather refines the sound. For example I think better separation would be nice so I will definitely look for a new cable now or later if it does that. Or you can try the Markl-type mods without stuffing the cups.
