Looks like Fostex wants to capitalize on the mega buck headphones trend. I was hoping they would use an improved version of the T50RP ortho drivers but they went with a bio-cellulose driver instead. With Fostex's expertise I'm sure they will sound good but for 2 grand they better be the shiz nittle bam snip snap sack.



Yea I don't think I can go any deeper into the megabuck headphone category.. 1k is as megabucky as I'm willing to go - and I think I've maxed out for a while haha..

Hi,
 
I am interested in getting a DAC to add to my Woo Woo Room. I've narrowed it down to two so far:
 
Antelope Zodiac 192Khz; and the
Wyred4Sound DAC-2
 
Any ready opinions on either of these?
 
Thanks!
 
The weekend is nigh; let's prepare to hit audio nirvana!

Take a look at PS Audio Perfectwave, I just upgraded to the MK II version is basically floored on how good the NativeX is with USB in.

PS Audio is a good choice they seem to be able to adapt with the latest features and technology. I remember them from the early days when their first product was a phono preamp. I personally spoke face to face with their CEO at their headquarters in Boulder, CO. good vibes!

I know this is not a direct comparison because there's more to the circuit than just the DAC chip, but my Onkyo CD player uses the same WM8742 chip with the same five digital filters. I really like it and think it is very smooth and musical, yet highly detailed.

Just delivered to my desk at work:
 
DENON AH-D7000
 
My very first Denon;
My very first closed headphones; and
My most expensive headphones thus far.
 
(I only own 3 others. I'm way behind on my headphone inventory.)

Dubstep girl, pm me the price on k701, I may want o give it another try.



Dubstep Girl, thanks for keeping me in mind while I sit in the dark anticipating a brighter tomorrow. jc9394, I think you should give it another go. Especially since your listening room has seen advances. Currently, auditioning K702's - though promising, not my bowl of tea with the compliment of gear I now have.

During the last few years on Head-Fi, I have observed several members indicting the Denon AH-D7000 well under 100 hours. Some of them

 were Woo Audio members. And proceeded to throw the baby out with the bath water... pity. May your patience be rewarded, Clayton SF; Dubstep Girl.

I'd really like to take a listen to the D7000s. I've heard some very good things. I'm mostly intrigued at hearing the bass quality i've read about and checking out the soundstage they offer.
 
Truth be told, i've never been much of a closed can man, but it sounds like the D7000s might change my mind.
