NPAudio is pretty legit if you ever want to try that out. Their WM1A mod is almost even par with the DX320 Max and that’s saying a lot. I also mod my ZX707 and it’s slightly more holographic than the DX260 but in stock form the DX260 takes the cake. Not sure how the DX260 measures up to the...

I think it isnt last word on the layering and soundstage but likely the leader for DAP under $1000. I own several modified DAPs and they are all more resolving than the DX260. Stock ZX707 won’t be able to match the DX260 for sure. I think the DX320 with amp 11 still throw bigger sound stage...

Thanks for document your findings.

I bought a used Stellia and the headband has discolored and I would like to clean it if possible. Will the product you recommended work? Many thanks!

Ask Doug for a DSHA-4 or Ravenswood if you want to drive the Susvara.

Can anyone recommend a good leather cleaning or conditioning products for the Stellia? Thanks.

Recabling isn’t recommended as you can easily destroyed the driver in the process. This may happens during the driver removable process. The back of the driver of every R10 is glued to the ear cup and removing it could rip the voice coil causing the damage to the diaphragm. I have done that...

I realized that. No issues if you don’t want my take on it. 😀

The D9200 to me is better than the stock MV1 for sure. With a directly modded done, the two are almost a side step but the D9200 is still better. I am traveling to Thailand soon and I want to take the MV1 with me. Knowing how hot and humid it is going to be, I much prefer leather earpads for...

I want some good leather earpads for mine too. Any recommendation?

4.4 mm and female 4.4 mm to others?

Yup, done that on one and will not do that ever again.

I have the furutech 4.4 mm on mine but the length is the cable length is about the same as original. I bought Nobunaga OFC 4.4 mm jack recently for around $75 and may shorten the cable to around 5-ft and use this 4.4 mm plug instead for a slight upgrade in sound quality. Do you use 4.4 mm on...

I get that, but why not just reterminate it? Those OFC 4.4 can improve the sound compared to stock 1/4” from Sony. I may shorten the cord on my R10 this weekend.

Same findings for me. A little bit more 3-D sounding with slightly better clarity and focus.
