Well mr moneybags, 2500 dollars to listen to a ten dollar cd is cost prohibitive to a lot of people.
OK, I'll accept that. But consider it from a different perspective. If you bought one $10 CD a week for 30 years, you'd have 1500 CDs, which is a respectable but not even close to impressive collection. THIS is an impressive collection: http://www.noiseaddicts.com/2008/09/biggest-record-collection-in-the-world-paul-mawhinney/ Puts a new perspective on a $2500 headphone system. Assuming you all ready have a computer with a USB port, how about this: HeadRoom Micro DAC US$333.00 Sennheiser HD600s US$300.00 Creek OBH-21 Amplifier US$375.00 $1008.00. Better? Not as flexible, but still very good. The HD600s are in my opinion the best value in high end audio right now, but an Ipod won't drive them. Either of the DACs I've mentioned is better than an Ipods'. Swap out the OBH-21 for an OBH-11 and you're at $833.00. I can't get as low as an Ipod because I'm reluctant to compromise too far on DAC, amp, or transducers. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
