TAS on USB audio
"Sounds bad", he says.

Signal path, gain and/or volume?
The suggestion was to just snip the attenuator out of the circuit, then solder the two ends together, that's all.

I have neither good nor bad things to say about Edirol -- looking at portable recorders, I'm not ruling out the Edirol for myself, whatever that tells you.

TAS on USB audio
(a) I don't think so; ( the question still holds -- WTF, dude, share! Fucking hoarders...

Except that it didn't go to 192, I don't think. Other than that, the Mini-Me with the USB option would have been perfect.

Signal path, gain and/or volume?
That's a good point about noise -- I actually had to "gain stage" my Mac/Duet/Singlepower amp in order to reduce distortion (I.E. the Duet was running too hot for the singlepower). Another thing to try is to turn both up to full and see if you can hear any noise by pressing your ear up against the speaker (be careful not to accidentally play anything while doing this). Then turn one down and then the other to see which has a bigger contribution to the noise floor.

Definitive list of Sennheiser headphones with "those" connectors?
I have, that's why I'm asking.

Signal path, gain and/or volume?
Well, if it sounds the same with pre at max vs. with the speakers at max (and then volume matched in both cases), then I wouldn't worry about it. Remind me -- what's the setup? I'd say, set it so that it's easier to adjust the level on the one that's easier. (My quad 12L's are rather difficult to adjust -- I think I am going to take the advice to mod them to bypass their volume control, and then put a "real pre" in front of them.)

Mayberry by the Sea 09 aka DanJam 09!
Wait...didn't you order a pair of the customs? Or were you waiting to hear a pair of the universals?
-
Signal path, gain and/or volume?
Impedance match. Yeah yeah, I know, easier said than done, but I've been able to do it by ear, so it's not impossible. (Admittedly -- not in as complex a scenario as you have -- in my case, it was simply raising the level on the mixer [as a pre], and lowering the input sensitivity on active monitors.)

What are you listening to Part Two
Oo-oo, I need to hear. Wait, what if I loved their last album?

I particularly enjoyed today's Olbermann. Gosh I hope that makes it into the next Auto-Tune The News.

Definitive list of Sennheiser headphones with "those" connectors?
Is there a list of all headphones that have the HD580/600/650 style connectors? I know it's bass-ackwards, but I kind of wouldn't mind being able to browse said list. I can't seem to find my HD250-II's anywhere, and I think it's the only one I have left of that style. (I ran across it recently, so it's not completely gone, just haven't been able to find it since then.)

Or you could just budget extra in for the customs, shipping, and potential shipping in case of return or repair.
