To put together a great portable headphone (in ear monitor) system check out head-fi.org Their newbie greeting is "sorry about your wallet" so beware:-) I have a 160gig Ipod Classic with all files in lossless format. If your mp3s are only 128 that could be one factor. I can hear differences blind consistently at 128. 256VBR becomes MUCH harder to identify and that's what I use on my Iphone and Ipod touch. My Ipod classic>Ray Samuels Shadow amp>Line out dock>Westone UM3X is as highly resolving and enjoyable as my home system. I have the Shadow velcro'd to the back of my Ipod. I think the earphones are the most important part of the chain. Buy the best IEMs at your preferred price point and try out 3 different file sizes of the same music: 128, 256vbr and lossless. See if you hear a difference and go from their. I realize I am offering nothing about the boom but I hope this info might be interesting. -- tomjtx ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tomjtx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7449 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83067 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
