They seem to ship to most countries? It seems odd that Japan just isn't available on the list? I would love a pair of HD6xx. The HD650 cost 450 USD in Japan so factoring in shipping and tax it is still far cheaper to get them here.

Haven't seen much talk on here regarding these newer releases from Hifiman. I've been a huge fan of the HE-500 for the last 6 or so years. It is still my favorite sound signature even with the 20+ pairs that have followed it. When the original HE-6 was still in production I didn't have much interest due to cost and limited options for amping it properly. Once I had picked up amplifiers capable of driving it properly, and rectified myself to the >$1K cost, it became quite scarce due to all the Code modding going on. Now with the HE6se I have a chance to purchase it NIB again (although at a much higher cost). I was all set to drop $1800 on the 6se when the Arya came to my attention. Now I am a bit stuck in deciding between the two. I am a big fan of extended bass, fairly neutral response leaning a shade warm if I have to pick a side, amplification is not a concern. Anyone have time with either (preferably both) of these offerings? Thanks to anyone who might be able to...

I listen to music pretty much from internet stations like spotify, youtube music etc using wifi phone/laptop and using wireless headsets. But looking at various comments on drop, I feel I am obviously missing something. I do not think I want to go back to CDs and wired systems. What are the some really good wireless music systems I should look at? I am ok with cost in few thousand USD.

If I cut the 1/4" TRS connector off of the stock cable will I find 3 or 4 wires? Cheap cables connect the L&R ground cables in the Y splitter then run a single ground wire down to the plug for a single termination on the sleeve. Better cables have two ground cables (plus R&L positive cables) running the entire length of the cable with both grounds terminated on the sleeve of the plug. I'd like to convert the cable to balanced but that won't work if there is only a single ground wire. Has anybody actually cut off the plug and knows what I would find? Considering how Drop likes to cut corners my gut is telling me that they probably saved a few cents and connected the grounds in the splitter but I'm hoping that I'm wrong.

If your music library is coming out of a MacBook Pro, the internal DAC is already extremely good. Adding a dedicated DAC will not yield meaningful improvement. Thoughts? Discuss.

I don't know about you guys but i think that the 4XX are gold for what they cost, i'm really enjoying those headphones ! And they also look grate ;p

I got my NuForce Udac5 some time ago and it isn't good in fact really bad. You can hear a hissing on both ears and it's loosing connection with my PC when moving. Drop didn't mention in the drop that there is no warranty on it.

A new (for me) batch of 5Ц4С rectifier tubes with date-codes of 1977. Fresh from the regions that used to be part of the U.S.S.R. Enough rectifiers to last me a lifetime of use on one of my cheap...

I've been into music and the quality of the sound for as long as I can remember! I have a lot of musical gear but lately my main focus has been quality headphones and good enough Amps and dacs to give you a very pleasurable listening experience. I've got some gear but have just purchased the drop Lcx + SDAC from drop.com and I'm hoping it will really make for a great listening experience with all my wired headphones.
