hey! there is nothing like lossless mp3s. aac is a different format which gives better performance for lower bitrate. 128 aac can perform as a 256 mp3. While ripping select lossless wav or do a FLAC rip. Your EP630 and the likes are in-ear phones that give you good lower ranges.Bass basically. Any such headphones with 20 to 20,000 Hz frequency response is good enough. Also check for soundlevels if they are around 100Db. But careful with in-ear headphones. Dont share them often it leads to ear infection. regards wb PS : I know this is non-arr but a little discussion on topic this will only help all of us identify the right toys to enjoy his music the way its meant to be.

You can always rip lossless mp3s or AACs to keep the sound quality close to the CD. There is also general agreement amongst audiophiles that 192 kbps is a rate that is close enough to the CD at the same time providing the convenience of lesser file size.. iPod stock earphones are horrible. Sennheiser, Grado or AKG are good low end audiophile quality headphones. If you have more money to shell you can consider the Shures, etymotic research and ultimate ears. These provide a divine mid and high range... --- In arrahmanfans@ yahoogroups. com, "wiredbeats ." <wiredbeats@ ...> wrote: > > > Honestly. iPOD headphones are horrible in reproduction.
