new orleans Posted February 4, 2003 Report Share Posted February 4, 2003 As a result of the DR-7's new 1-bit amp, it uses a 4-pole plug in on its headphone jack and remote control. I was wondering if anyone knows if I use a regular 3-pole plug cord, to run a line to my computer and dumb the music onto wav files, will it effect the sound quality. Also, I would like to get some new high definition ear phones and they will probably have 3-poles as well, will that effect anything? I've already noticed if I use the 4-pole earphones that I received with the DR-7 with anything else like a disc-man, I can only get one channel of music. On a different note, does anyone know if getting really expensive earbuds like the Sony MDR-E888Lp Fontopia's are really worth the extra $50?

EVHShawn Posted February 4, 2003 Report Share Posted February 4, 2003 I also have the DR7 and have been using a regular set of earbuds with it. The ear buds that came with the unit suck. It shouldn't affect the quality too much using a regular cable to dub onto your computer. I would try using the RCA cable that came with the unit though; buy an adapter that has female RCA to miniplug and connect the two cables. this will integrate the 1-bit 4 pole tech. into the transfer. I don't know about the E888's though, I use the EX70's and they are deffinately worth the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daijoubu Posted February 6, 2003 Report Share Posted February 6, 2003 Aren't DR7 coming with OEM Sennheiser MX400? They don't suck for 12$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
me Posted February 6, 2003 Report Share Posted February 6, 2003 I think the included buds are better than the MDR-EX70 :twisted: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
