how's your HD 668B doing ? I am looking for a headphone with tight budget, since the reviews I came across on 668B are outstanding with such cost.
With the performance of it certified, I am just wondering the robustness of it ~

I am new on this part, so not very clear with the terms - what's custom cable ? and mostly I use headphone with desktop, anymore parts do I need
other than an amp ?

hi Agent5. it's been almost a year now since i've been using this HD668B, and im still in love wit it. i tot in the 1st place it will be out of my favour but i was wrong. still satisfies me~ smile.gif

custom cable - new set of cable, custom or DIY to replace the original cable. if you can browse thru the audiophile section there were many forumers providing the service. these cables can be adjusted according to your budget and needs. the forumers can advice you to on the suitability~ smile.gif

for my usage, the combo that i use is PC -> USB -> DAC -> custom cable -> HD668B. smile.gif

*if there is a year end bonuses for me, i want to buy a better DAC for my HD668B

Hi, rifasha.

I just bought HD668B and also own a PCM2704 based DAC, but my DAC left at other places which only after this weekend I can try it.
I also get a custom cable, but from another person though. (ssyycc) Haven't really tried them though.

Did you burn-in for moment before your first impression ? My first 'out-of-box' impresion wasn't good, but after like 5 hours of playing, its alot better. Alot claims that it become better with more playing, so i'm looking forward to it.

Did you get any better DAC ? I'm also thinking of getting better one, but have no idea which is good and cost-wise not expensive. (good performance-to-cost ratio, just like superlux headphone ! )

Have you replace the short cable or do some modding ?

Hello guitar89,

Im happy u bought the HD668B as well since its very good! i have been using it for some time now and its getting better the more u use it. My out of the box impression exceed my expectation since i use this headphone with the custom cable and DAC. (much2 better than my previous Philips headphone) tongue.gif

Right now im trying my friend's HD669. A forumer also and bought from Trio as well. He asked me to try it. Well, using the stock cable it got some noise but after i put the custom cable, it produce superb clarity and the noise were gone. But still need some burning tho, should give some time for its potential to explode~now he is looking for portable amp as well.

I haven't replace the short cable yet but i might replace it in the future. Will definitely post it here once i did~ smile.gif

ENJOY ur HD668B~!
