^ part of that could be differences in size of the output capacitors (if any) on DAPs. a 47uF output capacitor, with the 13 ohm impedance of the UE10 - and I don't know specifically what the impedance is for low frequencies - would mean it starts rolling off below 260Hz.
why not go all-out, put a custom cable on with a 4-conductor mini plug and do it balanced. its too bad they're not 4 wires to the plug or that would be real easy
Just read Todd's post; I guess if they had already built all the headphones, it would be a tough call, knowing they will probably sell all 500 anyway. But if the cups are just sitting there at Grado and they're going to continue using them that's messed up.
It would have been such an easy fix if only the headphones weren't assembled.
Strip off the anodizing - lot charge of $25
Turn the faces of the cups again - less than 5 minutes per pair
Anodize again - $1 per cup
Then laser etch company does the whole job for free if they were the ones that screwed up
I think it's most likely that the cups were taken in and assembled by people at Grado who do not know about Head-Fi and wouldn't have noticed the error.
You could even just do a half-assed attempt to change the "1" to an "I"
I bet those are "Mods". The op-amps and some capacitors for the DAC I/V stage have been removed. Likely replaced with a passive resistor I/V. You can see some of the holes for the capacitors still have solder in them
i would think that the owners of the songs (record labels) get the royalties and then if any is distributed to the artists it would be based on their contracts?
