Noobie question

All of my music files are AAC at 256 kbps. Does it behoove me to go lossless if I use the Beyerdynamic DT1350 I bought and use an amplifier? Will I notice a difference? I was told that the human ear cannot detect a difference between 256 kbps and lossless (or CDs), even with good audio equipment.

The study you read was off a lot or something. you will notice it. Getting a good amp and lossless CD ripped files is important for audiophile music. Most consumer's that don't have audiophile gear and stuff don't know. Most Beyer's like the FiiO amps. i don't know, i don't own them(the beyer's that is). just to give u some insight, read some reviews do some stuff. don't know if the FiiO amps provide good synergy with the DT1350 model

 

Do you have an ipod? seems like u do, it seems u also buy music off itunes. Getting an FiiO L9 or L3 LOD is also a good step.not the L1. that cable is obsolete compared to the other two. 

 

Do not go converting ur current AAC 256kbps music into apple lossless. it is a "noobie" mistake.

 

Any other questions? elaborations?

Yes I will be using an iPhone and a portable amp/dac to take my music listening experience to a higher level.  I am going the Fiio route because of its cheaper price and to sort of get my feet wet while I learn more about audiophile gear etc.  Thank you for the feedback and have a good one.
