Fostex T50RP or modified MrSpeakers Mad Dog headphone?
Do you think worth buying the Mad Dog or just DIY mod?
I have the T50RP, and have been actively modding it as well. One thing you should know BMF aka bluemonkeyflyer(talked to him a few times through e-mail really really friendly guy) from headfi has been doing mods for T50RP for a very long time. You should check out his incremental mods thread which provides frequency graphs for various mods. mr.speakers also known as the person who made the mad dog used to be active within BMF's thread, though I have not seen what's inside a mad dog but im certainly sure that the mad dog has a certain combination of mods which are similar to BMF's mods. But the main feature of the mad dog would their pads, they tune their headphones to suit their mad dog pads and alpha pads and that's actually most of the cost. Mad Dog's are considered dark to many headfi-er's.
I'd recommend you DIY yourself, following BMF's DBV#3 mod. I have a bit extra of everything so I could send you most of the materials for no cost if you just bare postage only. I love my T50RP more than I have loved any other headphone I owned and doubt i'll upgrade anymore. Just too much modding potential and the driver can handle anything.

To upgrade the T50RP, MrSpeakers first seals the vents in the back, which should give the headphone more bass while maybe losing some of the spaciousness that open-back headphones tend to produce. Then the company tunes the acoustics of the enclosure through strategic application of felt, foam, and fibrous stuffing. Then it adds plush, angled leather pads reminiscent of those we saw on Audeze’s $1,999 LCD-3
