find someone with a working side of the W4R who's willing to sell. it's a win win for both of you. there's plenty of broken W4R out there that there must be someone with either working left or right side.

Wow...So  sorry to hear that, you reckon the guy knows what he actually got?

Treblehead IEM you can't go past Audio Technica IM-01/ IM-02 for easiest availability. otherwise there's sony but it's so much harder to find.

Like the RE-400, I have one, I thought the SE215 had too much bass which bled into the vocals, the Yamaha were also nice. the problem with the RE400 is that it's not as isolating as the SE215. I would add another to this list, the VSonic VSD3, I have one of those as my gym IEM, very isoalting...

Hifiman RE400

yes they did, got in contact with them. problem is that the australian dollar is so weak right now it turns out to be unbelievably expensive for the W40 even with the discount.

tried 3 different cables and yes tried swapping the channels around. no luck.

ok so this thread might be a little dead but here goes:   HELP!!!   the right channel of my W4R is not working, yesterday fine, today not working. Any particular reason why and more importantly...any way to fix this?

I see you're in Melbourne, have you tried calling Acustoms (they're in the CBD). They sell all manners of IEMs technically they should have pelican cases even though their website doesn't show it. No harm in asking

Awesome, now all i gotta do is find the 230V version of this thing

hey guys, any body would be able to tell me if the TEAC can output both line outs at the same time or better yet if it is user switchable? I am planning to run my headphone amp (RCA) and monitors (XLR) through them.

bumpidy bump?

Sup people, in need of some help here please. I am in need of a DAC to be connected to my PC but I have some specific requirements:   at least 1 XLR and 1 RCA output (1 for monitors and 1 to go to the headphone amp) price range around $500 AUD with a little leeway.   optional being able...

Yup, that is just about true for most setups. the middle is live and the side is the ground

To owners of the DACMagic+, got a question for you guys:   With the dual XLR and RCA output, does the signal go through both at the same time? or can you select to which output you want? I ask because I am interested in this device to plug both my powered monitors (XLR) and my headphone amp...

Your choice really, but either way you will have to open up the cans and desolder the joint. I have modded my ESW9 to take in a mmcx jack, hop onto the ESW9 thread to see what's been happening

12000 unread posts , this is by far the most active thread in all of headfi (arguably) for a can that's considered a dinosaur. I'm glad i'm sill rocking mine

Just something up for debate here but wouldn't people generally want a smaller/ thinner y split? maybe it's just me  but it does add some considerable weight (to be fair my cables are always used for IEM not full sized cans) also the smaller it is...the less likely it gets tangled up on...

Just finished my first cable. Thanks guys     It looks ugly but i'll get better at it

OMG that makes so much sense why couldn't I figure that part out. LOL This whole DIY shenanigan is doing my head in   Thank you all

Thanks BoomBox, pretty much answers my question. I assume that rear is the one with the blue/red dot and front is the other.

Thanks. What about the 2 pin (westone style) though?

so guys, with mmcx, does it matter where you solder the live and neutral wire? if so which is which? sleeve and inside pin

At this point heat shrink won't work so... you'll have to cut away and resolder the connector to the undamaged wire Never done any splicing so that one is up to you. sorry

  cut off the bit that's exposed,, buy a new connector if the current one cannot be salvaged, solder the new connector to the ends and don't forget to attach some heat shrink (that's the sold flexible material that you're looking for) to give a better finish. problem solved. I don't have any...
