One unusual animal is the pistol shrimp which has a unique claw. When it shuts, it creates temperatures similar to those found on the surface of the sun(4700 C) and emits a shockwave that stuns/kill its prey.
Hope he likes it!
Thanks ... I may have to go through all of these with him and get him to chose the winners ;) Bit... It does not matter what age you are.. The pistol shrimp is cool, they also have some of the best eyes of any animal able to see polarized light and all kinds of things
I had some DT 770s with the V2 mod (which I LOVED), but I gifted them to a mate of mine as a gateway drug into the pocket-draining world of Hi-fi audio. If I win, I'll finally have an excuse to buy another pair of DT 770s!

Luv'in your work, very informative. Knock knock, who's there. A little man who can't reach the door bell. That's the best i've got.
Thanks
Excellent overview sir. Thankyou. V3 ordered. I use mine with my Roland TD30 electronic drum kit, so hoping there's a slight improvement in the bottom end.
Ive recently installed the mass/damping kit and balance upgrade into my dt770 250 ohm. Really does elevate them to a level where you realistically, need nothing more expensive.
Step 1 : 05:21 - Step 2 : 06:00 - Step 3 : 06:12 - Step 4 : 06:51 - Step 5 : 07:22 - Step 6 : 08:45 - Step 7 : 12:48 - The End
I just finished the mounting and it works perfectly. Thank you very much, it was my first gear tweak.
Above some help for other tweakers to come.
Glad the install went OK ;)
Thank you very much for the Video! Just watched it and talked to my Father in law who recently bought the 990 Pros. I got myself the 770 Pros 10 years ago. We were so amazed that we both ordered the V3 Kit for our headphones straight away!
Really excited how it sounds in person!
I am wonder how do you find this mod? Is it really improvement in sound?
I just bought the V3 kit for my DT770 PRO 80 Ohms. Thank you.
Thanks for your purchase, how did the install go?
@@CustomCans Perfect, thank you so much for the quality of your tweaks and videos.
Got my kit from last week, going to install it tomorrow ! Pretty quick from UK to East coast USA .. Along with the demo that showed us the differences, thank you for the tutorial ! Hoping it works as well on the 250 ohm model I have.
How did it go?
@@CustomCans Thanks to your great vid, the kit was very easy to install. I still dont like the headphones though Lol.. it did seem to improve them a bit but the high end still harsh to me on these phones. Maybe I got a defective set. . I'm used to sennhieser 590's and grado 80x.
@@g.fortin3228 yes the 250om ones do have a bit more trebel than the 80ohm ones.
@@CustomCans I just picked up an EQ , so I'll give them a listen after I get some cables and install it. Should be able to correct them. Thanks for the video and the quick shipping on the kit.
great mod this, fitted mine yesterday.
will be using the 770 much more regularly now.
had to swap out stock pads though as they clash with my glasses and make horrid creaking noise whenever i move. fitted some dekoni hybrids which dont suffer the same issue. has altered the signature slightly ie reduced the bass, but not by much.
i am tempted by your modded DT1770 now that this has whetted my appetite.
Glad you like it
Just ordered V3. Adding some more acoustic damping to (presumably) reduce diaphragm excursion in the bass (but without rolling it off) seems like an obviously beneficial mod for the DT 770's, and might actually protect the drivers somewhat. I've just had a pair develop a rattle after a session listening to some recordings with a LOT of very deep bass (and well recorded kick drums) on them including one with Anthony Jackson's six-string mixed to the fore (the open bottom-B is 30.8Hz!). If anyone wonders, I did ping the earcup open and confirmed it's the driver, not a loose component. ETA >> I belatedly saw your demo of the earpad attachment (having faffed around with one yesterday) - just being pedantic, but I think you want to rotate it in the other direction, so the lip rides over the angled side of the notch/cutout!
I will have to try twisting the pads in the opposite direction next time ;) As for the rattle, sometimes it is a hair or something that has got into the drive, Pulling them apart and giving them a good blow to dislodge anything in there sometimes fixes it
I'm really happy that someone like you is making these videos and upgrade's for studio headphones, that's make even better for user's experience. Myself I recently have bought also DT770 Pro 80ohm because I got upset after using HyperX Cloud Alpha and Cloud 2 that they aren't able to hold more then 2 year's without issue, so thought to buy an little bit expensive pair headphones that are approved for a long time of many creators for sound quality and durability. I was planning to buy shortly the kit, I never have tried doing modification to headphones and it would be scary for me to do, but with your videos in 15 minutes is everything possible for everyone, it can take and more, but until you do it properly and correct everything is fine and doesn't matter the time spent.
So, here is a joke: How do you stop a bull from charging? Cancel It's credit card.
And here is a fact: The average person walks the equivalent of three times around the world in their lifetime, just by taking regular steps.
Thanks for the joke and fact ;) as long as you take your time and are careful, the mod is pretty easy to do
V3 installed (without the central 'keyhole' plugs), so far so good. The immediate impression was of a reduction in bass, but it's quite possibly due to a _lift_ in the midrange you mention, which of course is the range we're most sensitive to, hence subjectively louder overall. But definitely tighter, less boomy bass. A test recording I use is an all-analogue one by Simon Phillips, very bass-heavy mix (his kick-drum and floor toms, and Anthony Jackson's six-string 'contrabass' with Jackson spending a lot of time on the bottom B-string) which tended to get out of hand with the bit of bass-boost EQ I generally use, and it's definitely improved.
Glad to hear you like it so far
@@CustomCans I don't know how much the mod extended the existing bass, but I've already heard deep bass in songs I've heard x times over years or even decades that I literally didn't know was there, case in point being the chorus of QUOTSA's _The Lost Art Of Keeping A Secret_ - blimey, now that's what I bought the 770's for!
I know I'm late to the party, but just incase you didn't regift the ones that someone else threw back into the give a way....
On a serious note I just purchased the DT 770 Pro 250 Ohm about a month ago. They are my first headphones that I bought without testing that I loved at first listen. I tried AHG sheepskin pads, but they made the sound to dark. I then bought the Dekoni Choice leathers based off of Z's reviews, they were better, but they still kinda killed that Beyerdynamic shimmer that I love in the DT 770's.
I am leading to a question... I promise.
My pursuit lead me to you all, and I cant thank you enough for your videos, and all the info you share. Your sense of humor really adds to the videos. I wish I seen your pad rolling video before I tried the Dekoni's. You were right on... sorry Z.
Which mod do you feel keeps more of that Beyerdynamic sizzle in the treble. My goal is to enhance the bass with detailed bass, hopefully a little more punch, but not at the cost of the mids or signature treble.
Thanks for any input.
The older version of this kit is probably what you want, It boosts the bass a bit and leaves the rest pretty much the same. It comes with little bass port adapters to reduce the bass a little so you can tune it to your taste

@@CustomCansJason I am so sorry. I just rewatched the video and I totally missed the "for my six year old son", and only heard drop a joke. I removed my joke, please accept my apology.
Thank you for replying.
I just placed the order for V2, I think you gave me really good advice, especially after listening to the sound samples...over and over. I really like the bass on V2, but the vocals do sound sweeter on V3. I can hear the reverb on the vocals that I couldn't on the stock, and barely on V2. I second guessed myself, and sent an email to add the V2 to V3 kit to my order. That'll cover all bases for me until I order the detachable cord kit.
Great kit and good price too, good job! I find installing the middle foam insert with the keyhole shape out makes the position over my ears super critical. It's as if it emphasises phasing a lot. I have a TC Electronic Clarity, so I can obsessively watch a correlation meter while listening. Even with the meter hard right, position on the head is sensitive. Weirdly, the bass (for me anyway) feels recessed. So I tried again with the middle foam insert removed and bingo! Nice. Ring weight and outer foam FTW. £15? Excellent!
I have not seen that before.. that TC Electronic Clarity looks like a cool piece of kit
@@CustomCans Doing what you do, I'll say it would be £300 well-spent. Geek heaven and truly useful tools to check that what you're hearing is... well... what you're hearing. Love your work. Lol.
cool mod :)
Thanks ;)
I was able to get a used pair of DT 770 pro's (250ohm) for only 45 euro!! It arrived today and I'm very happy with the quality and comfort, but the treble is a bit much to my ears. I might pick up this kit, seems like a good deal 👌
Yes I think it is pretty good value for money but I am totally biased ;)
I just installed the V2 kit on my 770s, that combined with the minixlr cable mod makes these great daily drivers.

Hi there, this was an awesome video. Wondering if you have any recommendations for fitting a microphone into the headset. I understand I can probably just get a BT accessory and attach it but if I'm going to have the cans taken apart anyways...
You could use a mod mic or this is how we did it

i had DT770 250ohms and loved the wideness and the sound-stage but due to my tinnitus and sound sensitivity i found it too bright and sold it. i switched to the akg k371 but i find the sound stage on these very compact and very narrow sounding (although less ear fatigue) im thinking about getting the dt770 again (the modded one from your shop) i just cant find any headphones in the same price range with the comparability and build quality,ease of repair as the dt770's
Yes - the repair-ability of a lot of the beyers is really good.. That is one of the main reasons we do them
I have two DT 770 Pro (80 and 250 ohm). I prefer 250 ohm version as I find it more detailed and having a better bass control. I like Beyerdynamic so much that I also own DT 1990, 1770, 880 (600 ohm) and 990 (ohm). I also like Allan Taylor very much and Color to the Moon is one of may favorite tracks, both for listening and testing.
Sounds like a bad case of beyer addiction ;)
Now you just need to get a vintage DT770 600ohm! It's more neutral sounding than the 250ohm version.
Have you tried the newest DT 700 Pro X ??? If so how did you find them in comparison?
Where can you find old cows? In a moo-seum 😂 Great Video
Classic ;)
Never clicked on a video so fast
That was fast ;)
My DT-770's have the Dekoni flanel pads. Still wondering if I should send my ancient ones (pre-2010) in for a rewiring. But a kit would fit brilliantly.
As for interesting facts that can keep a 6-year old busy --
One cannot lick one's own elbows (see them contorting trying it out anyway)
The heart of a blue whale is so big you can, in fact, walk through it no problem
You can boil water in a container made of paper without setting the container on fire (everyone can try this, though a camping-cooking set is advised top prevent you kitchen from getting drenched)
It is BBQ season so I can definitely see us trying to boil water in a paper container over the BBQ while he tries to lick his own elbow ;)
hello, i love the dt 770 soundstage, does the v3 mod sacrifices some soundstage?
No, you don't sacrifice sound stage with the V3
Fantastic!
I have the V2 mod on mine, you said in the video I can just get the foam without the copper ring? How can I do that I can't seem to find it on the website?
Thank you!
I will have a listing up on the website on monday
Got a question, will the V3 version work with the detachable cable mod as well? Or is it one or the other, I just got a set of dt 770s and I was going to order your kit to DIY my headset.
Yes - we sell a lot of them with detachable cable and the V3 kit installed
Hey, i’m trying to decide between the V2 and V3. I want the bass to be able to go deep, but I don’t want it to take away from the other details in the music, what do you suggest?
I was looking to get a pair of the v3s and i was wondering if there is any way to compare them to the letshouer S12 iem as that is what i am used to using these would be my first good over ear closed backs
No sorry, I have never herd the s12 so can't compare them
Hi! There is no mention of the bass port, which is tuned in V2. Is it because with the foam the bass port does not do as much anymore?
The V2 had a bit too much bass for some people so we included the bass port adapters to bring it down a bit. The V3 does not need them
I would love to upgrade my v2 to v3. My amazing fact, there is more water/ocean under the earths surface than there is on top :)

I have the Uber 770 80ohm V3 from you guys, just ordered the V2 kit because I want to experiment. Wild question - what happens if you have both kits installed at the same time? Have you guys tried that out?
If you put both in it sounds pretty much like the V3.
I’ll figure out something smart or funny and come to you. Good content as always, badonkadonk!
I will look out for your smart / funny comment ;)
Does this mean it will become better for the Mix?
Another question: Can I order the headphone without a cable?
One last question, can I request a special design for the dt 770?
Hi - Yes you could order some headphones either with the original cable or with no cable and we can custom paint designs on them.
If you follow this link - on the cable length drop down menu there is an option for no cable
customcans.co.uk/shop/product/uber-dt770/
@@CustomCans Hi thanks for this quick reply,
There is no option if I want the original coiled cable after modifying the port!
There is also an option that I do not understand: 3.5mm socket (ideal for adding a mic)
Does this mean that I can buy a separate microphone and mount it on the headphone?
You also did not answer the question: Does modifying the drivers mean that they have become more neutral in the mix?
Thank you
It does give a flatter response especially on the 80ohm ones which should help with mixing. If you chose to have a 3.5mm socket then you could buy something like the V-Moda boom mic and plug it in. We convert the stock cable as standard unless you ask us not to so you would get the original cable ( straight or curly depending on which impedance you go for ) converted to make it detachable

I asked my six year old if he had any good dino facts, he shrugged, tooted, and and told me you can lick a fossil to see if its a fossil, after fact checking, hes right, dinosaur fossils are slightly more porous than your average rock, so a fossil will stick to your tongue a bit more.
love the new kit, sounds great!
Thanks ... I can imagine once I tell him that one he will spend the rest of the day licking rocks ;)
question: if you add more cushion/pad to ear piece, because my ears are rubbing inside my headset, how would the audio change being further from the ear?
The best thing would be to have a try and see. It will depend on the material, how dense it is and how much of it there is. You should be able to tuck some cotton or cloth round under the edge of the pad to space them out and then have a listen
hi, will those mod sets change the character of the different impedance versions of the DT770 in the same way? I plan to buy the 32 Ohm version to run it on my work PC and my phone.
Yes it has a similar effect on the 32ohm ones
Just installed the mod. Works great on my DT770 80ohm all black edition! The bass is quite heavy but controlled. Headphone feels more mature with this mod.
Switched from tubes to SS and damn this is nice! The sharp highs are gone and remains is a darn good headphones. Love this mod!
Really glad you like it. If you are a member of any groups or forums that would be interested, It would be great if you could share your experience and help spread the word
@@CustomCans Dropped a note in one of the head-fi treads about closed-back headphones :)
@@arielext Much appreciated ;)
Jason mate,
From an engineer’s point of view, when it comes to headphone cables that utilise ultra thin wires in Litz configuration - is there an optimum / minimum total wire diameter? That is if you laid all the individual wires out into one big strand.
For example I’ve run the numbers and your cables are a touch under 24mm total diameter, a competitor from Italy uses nice quality ultra thin strands, and in Litz config but their total diameter approaches 50mm.
Then there are cheap audiophile cables from aliexpress that are half your gauge, around 12mm total diameter.
I know we don’t subscribe to something arbitrary like the number 42 dictating wire count; but in your opinion is there a minimum total gauge required for highest audio quality?
Regards,
Your mate Alain
I don't think there is any one right answer and the answer is probably longer than I could put in a comment but there may be some useful info in this video
th-cam.com/video/JQz3W7spq2I/w-d-xo.html
I have a question. Did you check whether it makes sense to brace the magnet to the earcup instead of adding a weight? I mean, you add mass this way too, no?
on the 770 they have that ring of plastic around the driver that braces it against the back of the earcup. We have made that tighter in the past so it is braced more heavily and you do get a small bump in the bass but they can pop apart with the extra pressure on the retaining ring
@@CustomCans Aah, makes sense.
Is there a place I can get that white cotton ring that comes with them stock I lost one of mine
You could try contacting beyer in your country
europe.beyerdynamic.com/system-crown.html
I'm curious about how the extra foam inside the cup produce this result. Like what's the since or train of thought behind it.
As it is closed backed you can get a certain amount of the sound bouncing around inside the earcup and coming back out through the front causing constructive and destructive interference. The foam helps manage the airflow around the back of the driver. It was a little bit of intuition and lot of prototyping and testing to get the shape and density of the foam right to get the results I wanted and make the kit easy to fir and repeatable. It is the kind of think you can play around with at home with bits of foam or cotton wool, stuffing it in places and having a listen
@@CustomCans Thank you for your answer. I ordered a kit and I'm looking forward to move my 770 to the next level!
Is this compatible with the DT770 pro x ? If not, are you planning on releasing similar stuff for it?
No it is not designed for the pro X but yes, we will be making something similar for them in a couple of months
Cool fact : my pair of DT770s is 5 years older than your son 😊
They do go on for ever... Just change the pads every few years. We have had a few pairs in which are a decade old, still with the original pads. They had so much earwax and human slime soaked into them that they could almost move by them selves

Lol :)
Are kits compatible/relevant to other DTs? like 880s?

@@CustomCans Amazing, thank you!
Here is a joke for your son - how does the ocean say Hi? It waves.😂
On to the video.
Nice, this arrived just in time when I started experimenting with bigger pads on my 770 80 ohm, in which I have a v1 kit for damping them.
Would you recommend removing the dynamat which came in the v1 kit (which is glued on the back of the cups) before installing the v3 kit?
And also, did you try to measure the headphones without the cotton ring which sits on the plastic inner ring, would that have some impact on the sound with the new v3 kit?
This will add more options for further modding my headphones 😅
You can leave the V1 damping in. I did test it with the cotton removed and it was better left in. I can't quite remember how that affected things so you may want to give it a go.
@@CustomCans will have to test once I get the kit in my hands, to see how removing the cotton ring or maybe even the whole ring (without cotton or inner foam disc) will change the sound..
Love these cans, so many options to mod them (inside damping, front damping, pads, bass port, etc), too much fuel for the fire.
I have on mine 3d printed adapter for 110m pads, and am waiting for some angled pads to experiment even more.
Btw, when can we expect to know who won the kit?
I am eager to get the kit for myself.
As you've probably measured it does the balanced mod on dt 1990 pro's reduce the bass a little? I've always felt it did, but new pads brought it back in line a bit.
Is there a mod to increase the bass a little?
sorry to but in, but is that with the balanced pads?
Balanced conversion should not change the sound but the amp may handle them differently running balanced. I will be having a play with the 1990 over the next couple of weeks and I suspect if we can find a chap and easy way to reduce the treble peak a bit it will bring out the bass more
You get a bit more bass with the balanced pads

That it a good fact ;) we do have a V2 > V3 upgrade kit for around £7 if you want to try it in the future
In your opinion how does the DT770 80 ohm V3 compare to the DT 700 pro x?
I have not tried the two side by side. I would be far too biased after spending all this time developing the kit so I may have to get some other people to compare them
@@CustomCans appreciate the response!❤️
In shortcut - This mod is making 30ohm sound profile from 80ohm version
Everyone loves a shortcut ;)
That's a very nice mod. It seems like there is still a treble peak, so are you interested in building a filter like dt1990 on these?
With this mod, the peak is not as noticeable so we don't have plans to do that at the moment as making the filters by hand takes too long and there for the cost is quite high. We are looking into getting the filters mas produced... If that works out then we may offer it as a DIY add on in the future.
Interesting..Ive owened the original 600 ohm 770's from 1980's/90's? and have always been more impressed with them. More linear and clean than modern DT 770's Looks like you might have managed to reverse engineer the sound signature to the 'better' sounding original !! :)

@@danimusicxx It is definitely worth contacting the company you purchased them from as they may pay the return postage cost for you. If not, the only thing I can suggest it dismantle them and blow on front and back of the driver to cleat anything that might have got stuck in there. When you put it back together make sure the retaining ring is clipped in firmly as that can also cause distortion in the bass

Has anyone removed the felt ring with this mod to tell how is the bass? :D
Yes, during the development of this we did try it without the felt ring, I can't remember the results off the top of my head but it measured better with it in
@@CustomCans Thanks. I did removed it and placed 2mm felt instead of the foam on top. Also I use a passive filter based on solderdude schematics. I am happy with the results.
Why did the audiophile wear headphones to the party?
Because he didn't want to get caught up in any treble!
Lol ;)
I'm sitting here watching this while wearing my stock DT 770s. The audio tutorial does sound much more different than listening to the song directly. I do understand that previewing the music via the binaural microphones will have different results. The previews have a much more crisp tone (which I don't personally like), while the actual audio from the song is more warm. I'm sure the V3 bass boost benefits a ton from these mods. Planning on doing the detachable cable mod and getting the foam inserts with weights
Also on a side note, I've noted a crackle from time to time with my DT 770s when there is a ton of boost. Would these dampening mods help reduce those effects? Thanks
Yes - if you are listening on DT770s then it will be doubling a lot of the peaks ;) the peaks that we recorded from the headphones and then the peaks from your headphones overlaying each other .. DT770 inception ;)
Depending how old they are you may be able to get them swapped under warranty but a crackling noise on bass tones is often caused by a hair working it's way through the cover and touching the driver inside, dismantling them and giving everything a clean and blowing out any hairs / dust can often fix it.
@@CustomCans ah okay that makes sense. I’m not well versed in the audio world so thank you for the breakdown!
Hmm ok. Interesting. I did read something about the hair issue in a forum previously but this issue has occurred ever since I bought them. I got them last December for Christmas, so I’ll definitely check my warranty. Thanks again :D
The V3 graph is with the center piece of foam in or without ?It s sounds a lot better nice job
The graph is with the centre piece popped out
@@CustomCansOne last question..Apart of the better tonality the instrument separation is getting a bit increased or diminished in the V3 mod ?
@@anatol1204 It should be increased slightly but that is the kind of thing that is more difficult to measure
@@CustomCans dt 1990 with the 8khz pad filter will have better separation or on par?( I don t know which one to choose)
@@anatol1204 the 1990 are still on another level but cost a lot more

k so how many people rushed to the emergency after trying to open the cans with a set of scissors?
Always ask an adult to help if you are using scissors ✂
I hate to say it but I am disappointed with this mod. I did installing/removing V3 kit three times to make sure there was no mistake. Final effect was nothing like sound comparison between standard 770 and v3 770 presented on this video. I am aware of the fact that mini dsp is not perfect sound measurement device but gives some image of a expected result. In my case v3 mode made my 770 sound a bit worst. Low bass didn't improved at all, opposite, I've noticed less oompf in low frequencies, below 60Hz. Not much of a disaster but not an improvement either.
Also V3 was supposed to add some low mids and tame Beyer 9kHz peak - non of those sound upgrades were present on my headphones after mod... and I rather have pretty solid ear.
I decided to remove all foam and leave rings as they didn't affected a sound in a bad way, I am not sure if they improved anything but generally increasing weight of a driver's chassis is a good thing.
My disappointment is deepen by the fact that cost of this kit including all import charges, shipping fees outside UK came up to near 25% of a new DT770 value.
Anyway, if you find this mod an upgrade - good for you. Nothing wrong in a DIY hi-fi hobby:)
If you wanna get real results I recommend Sonarworks SoundID Reference.
Out of interest... which version of the DT770 were you using it on? If you pop us an email we can send you the bits to turn that into a V2 kit with has more bass than the V3. We can mark it as warranty replacement parts so hopefully you would not have to pay any fees when importing
@@CustomCans Thanks for the V2 offering. I would try it, why not!
I am using 250 Ohm version powering by SSL 2+ interface.
Meeeeee me me lol jk….😅 but I will take one….

Lol... Ir is only now I a realising how many kids jokes involve cows ;)
Why did the headphone get demonetized? For showing off it's cans.
Why did the headphone go to the bank? To make a 'sound' investment.
What did the amplifier say to the headphone? Resistance is futile!
(Yes.. they're all terrible, I am fully aware)
All in solid dad joke territory :)

Sorry to take it off-topic, but the way the ear-cups are designed to move angle is very poorly designed, and results in a huge CLUNK sound sometimes. I haven't found anyone else who finds this, nor have a solution. This is my third pair...
Where is the clunk coming from? the hinges on either side of the earcup or the slider on the headband?

Please pick someone else to receive the prize, because I have already purchased the kit from your website 🙂
mind-blowing fact: in the bible, psalm 22 which was written several hundred years before christ jesus entered the world, goes into exacting detail as to the events which would happen during the crucifixion -- likely why christ quoted the opening and closing lines of the psalm, while on the cross
yes but more importantly do you think he would like the mod on the DT770?
That is interesting. Religion is not really something I was brought up around. I have heard the basic stories from a lot of the major ones but my kids learnt about Christianity for the 1st time in school and it was really interesting hearing their thoughts on it.
I remember my daughter coming home from school at the age of 4 and telling me she learnt about a man called Jesus. I asked her what she learnt and her interpretation adorable.
She explained that Jesus was a very very nice person... he was so nice that they nailed him to some wood, so you should never be too nice.
I don't think that was the lesson she was supposed to come away with but it is difficult to condense anything like that down to one sentence ;)
The V3 mod is great, soundstage is more apparent, gives a tidier low end, and the top end is tamed really well while keeping the clarity.
However, for those of you with thumbs for fingers like me, and/or have a set of older DT-770’s, it might be worth buying a pair of new pads as I ripped apart the inside join all the way around, doh!
That does happen sometimes with old pads. Glad you like the new sound though
Hi, I wonder... it does very well on the 770s, but would it possibly do good as a mld in DT 990s as well?
We will have a 990 version in a week or two
