Thanks, dude, I wasn't going to get around to it until this weekend, I think. Meh, alternate reality.

I'm going to split out the source discussion and move it to the source forum later, unless someone else beats me to it. Probably this weekend.

Yeah, you're right. I could have sworn there was a real one, so I just posted the first link I found, which obviously isn't the right one. Sorry about that. I have one on my iPhone, but can't get to it without ssh-ing into the iPhone first, at which point, it becomes kind of pointless. I guess I could get to it with MobileTerminal, but...yeezh -- I just realized, that meant you wanted to type those commands with the iPhone keyboard -- oh, that's right, it doesn't have one, never mind.

Is that the same as the DF20? Because...you know, black. Also, do suffixes matter? K, W, hatever? link

It doesn't look right without the music. I keep wanting to find the volume control and hit the unmute.

Pfff. You know how I feel about know-it-alls, Rick.

I think he meant the insides.

That said, kind of hard to argue with 'jesus christ that thing is hideous'. Oh, great, their website ain't any better: What's the name of the company, duet:Breakout? Oh, and good luck contacting them -- their email link is misspelled.

Yet top-heavy.

Oh, they'll be there as well (at least, the K501's will be). I was just hoping to get an answer for myself (and perhaps Hirsch) sooner than that.

Don't really care about the 300SEI -- a good amp will do, and we both have good amps. We're comparing headphones, not trying to recreate what you observed.

I give up. I'm not going to defend a company based on you-all's impressions on one product, but they do some cutting edge stuff with, for example, their digital active speakers, and MLP Lossless compression (which, if I understand correctly, they developed). The comparison to RSA is not apt.

Well, Hirsch has an R10, and I have a K501, we'll see what we can do at a mini-meet or something.

No, I'm saying you are incorrect in thinking that the R10 can have a fat bottom end, in any reality, distorted or otherwise. And to even compare the lack of bottom end to a K501 is just...incorrect, ludicrous, etc.

Why the hell is there a Dolby/DTS chip in there?

Todd: SSH shell for iPhone

I think they're making an exception for all current iPhone owners. EDIT: And yes, when I said buy the phone again, I meant at the subsidized price.

Yay!

Didn't they used to sell upgrade power supplies to the old AA and MSB gear? (I think it's the same pin-out on the DIN.)

I'm serious -- I've heard it sound thin (and, admittedly, detailed) -- sort of like the source equivalent of the K1000, but never syrupy.

What? To go from AT&T to...AT&T? I don't think so. EDIT: Here is a breakdown -- it is my understanding that you will need to buy the phone again, and upgrade to a new plan (I.E. start another 2 year contract), but that's it.

Why, what's inside them? I didn't find their sound syrupy at all. My biggest complaint about the G08 is that it took some serious matching -- more so than other systems I've heard. Is that because the analogue section is 'weak'?

Opinions on these? Any of them more highly recommended than others? Any of them disrecommended?

I know that's what it looks like, but...no.
