i tried to find audio technica malaysia by using google...but dun have any result as it point it to singapore only

do you have any ideal where i able to claim it directly with audio technica malaysia?

sending back to the source i bought will takes ages for sure 

Quazacolt, if it is possible, can u post a youtube link of female vocal that u find harsh with ad900?
sorry for the trouble, just want to make sure nothing wrong with the headphone......
thank u very much for ur help......

errmm.. maybe u can try looking for those high pitch vocals.. honestly i find that the high of ad900 is a bit ear-piercing/harsh.. in my case, Andrea Bocelli -Con Te Partiro and Celine Dion -It's All Coming Back to Me Now.. luckily my amp can soften the high a lil bit..

well speaking of amp, considering govibe peak's (the amp i use) bass coloration, it could be why i dont find the high pitch female vocals harsh at all.

thanks for the amp recommendation,Quazacolt.
i'll consider it too......

sounds more like a dac limitation to me.

bro DaEMoNteNTAcLe, can u explain more about what u mean by DAC limitation?
i'm currently using audinst MX-1 to drive ad900, yet it is a bit grainy with some female vocals......
from my own research on it, i felt the 7-10khz hump is responsible for it's grainy sound, ad700 has even higher peak!......
in my case, i think the audinst make it more apparent cause with it's not obvious with my sony mp3 player............
it's just my noob opinion, maybe someone have better explanation, i'm glad to hear it......

check this link: sometimes it can be the dac that's not able to produce fine sound.
sometimes its the amp.
sometimes its the interconnect that is not smooth enough.
sometimes its something else that escape our consideration, simply because we think it wont make a difference.

in ur case of mx-1, its probably along the line of the amp and/or the dac, and the headphone used as well.
why dont you try it again with external power to the audinst? i like it better that way when i tried er... i forgot who's unit.
that was something ago at jaben, but i did find it a bit peaky.

try these few things as well and test the song that you find grainy.
1. change ur software / windows settings to output 24bit if u havent done already.
2. with external psu vs direct usb power.
3. small jack vs large jack, usually they have different gain.
4. use different usb slot on ur computer. (no kidding, just try it).

try to send an email to audio technica singapore and see what is their reply?

i guess you bought your AT unit from overseas? even if you try to claim from AT malaysia, considering its not under them, i think it may be tough as well. thats always the risk when buying through overseas, when you save a ton from import taxes or even shipping in some cases, when it comes to warranty issues, prepare to suffer, as you may need to ship back to the source.

@hero : no more option either ad2k or w1k @ woodies
because u used ad900 right, no choice other than stick ad flagship or trus wood if u sudah sangkut ath sound sig, like me fortunately, but not for my wallet
