> I suspect this the change from non-Stealth to Stealth, and that they initially didn't update the specs

But they did update the impedance from 25 to 27 Ohms.

They’re cheap enough that it’s worth trying out. Do both! I’m working on the MrSpeakers OpenAlpha build myself (once all parts arrive within the next weeks).

Ill try that, makes sense

My SMSL VMV D1 runs pretty warm even when idle, too.

I thought the DAC was the heat sink for the amp :O

I was looking at my bin store, i found a 600sqft house for $8, a fighter jet for $10 and a small country for $8.

> autistic material

Yes, I do.

Uhm you'd have to stack it the other way around... The amp is the one with the temperature transfer onto the SU-9n DAC... So reroute it and put the SH9 on the top of the SU-9n and add a bit of air gapping between and place in an area it has easy access to flow of air and you'd be good, u/TraubeMinzeTABAK

I will pay you a whopping $20 and pickup local to remove that heavy junk for you😀

it was still sunday in australia when OP posted this

Its monday for some ppl from the other side of the world

No because I'm not a sound or materials engineer. You're gonna have to do your own research.

Housing shape and how it reflects sound and affects the driver is should be first area of research.

I haven’t used a SMSL setup before, but in stack setups the amp tends to run hotter so it’s usually recommended to have them on top. Maybe this is contributing to the heat? Though I’m not sure either component should run too hot at idle..

If this is what matters the most, can you explain to me what different foams and materials do to the sound?

Where are the bins?

Every week we get a post like like this. It doesn't matter what kind of driver you put in a headphone if you don't have the proper housing, autistic material, pad thickness and shape.

Making your own headphone isn't as easy as it sounds. Million dollar companies try and fail.

Better off looking for an open headphone and modding from there.

I'll look into them more. I seen a couple custom builds that turned out pretty good so I might end up with these. Right now I'm bouncing in between customs with tymphanys or highly modded mrspeakers alpha dogs (Fostex T50RP)

snake oil

You forgot to include that after your wife showed them to you, you had to Google them to check the price!

LMAO who still uses wired headphones these days, throw them into the trash
