Concerning expected headphones at the July meet, has anybody listed any of the following models, which I am re-posting from Post 14 of my Thread "Recommendable headphones and/or headsets for Asus XONAR Essence Series?", for display and/or audition?  I originally planned on something in the 100-600Ω range for my CM1630, whereafter the specifications and test results for the 32Ω Oppo® PM-1 and estimates for the same vendor's PM-2 became available.  Oppo® has a spoiler opportunity, as my XONAR's® Texas Instruments® TP6120A2 (Zs = 10.7Ω) can drive resistive loads down to 16Ω.
...As of 12 October 2013, I have the following models by manufacturer cleared for Round 1:  
beyerdynamic®:  DT 880 PRO, DT 770 PRO, DT 250, DT 100
 
Sennheiser®:  HD 600, HD 650, HD 700, HD 800, Custom One™ Studio™, PC 350
 
AKG®:  K612

Update:  Mike Mercer is scheduled to bring a Sennheiser® HD 800 to the meet - one down, ten to go on the list quoted.

Well, since Sennheiser is exhibiting at the meet you can scratch the HD600/650/700/700 off the list as well.

Any hope that a Phonitor 2 will show up? I would love to compare its crossfeed functionality to the m920.

Pretty good chance, we've reached out to the SPL NA distributor and they attended the March 22 SoCal meet!

How do you guys recommend we bring our own music to sample? :d my phone's audio out is pretty weak :s


Bring a mix cd, which I know sounds like something from the Stone Age. Or bring a flash drive with some tracks you know very well
