I think they are very funny and engaging to listen to. The bass sound very pleasant to my ears. They rock!

Maybe a Fiio D3?

I have a little question. I have a Harman Kardon hd 980 cd player with a wolfson WM8740 dac chip. And i also happen to have an external dac also with the wolfson WM8740 dac chip. I have heard that the sound quality depends on how the dac chip is implemented. So my question is if my cd player...

Just a thought. Do you think that the headphone manufactorers would produce a headphone that didn't sound as they intended at the begining? I find it hard to believe that they would sell a headphone that didn't sound as they intended right from the box. But maybe I'm wrong  

Sony mdr-xb700. I think it was the 700 I tested. You won't get dissapointed if you want bassy cans.

Ok, thanks for the answers. My cd player can read mp3 files. Would it be audibly better to burn the files as a storage cd rather then an audio-cd?

Quote:   Like a "Music Audio CD". I wonder if the burning process does something to the sound? Ok, maybe I should burn my favourites to an audio cd just to make it sound better in my cd player.

I have a little question regarding audioloss while burning 256 kbps aac files from itunes. If i make an audio cd and play it in my cd player will it sound better if the dac is better? or maybe worse because of the burning process?   Thanks in advance.

When I listen to spotify maybe i've stumbled across some songs that are 160kbps, but i don't know if I can distinguish them from the other songs that are 320 kbps. Maybe It's not audible for me.   Okay  ozarkcdn Interesting.

Thanks for the answers.  

Quote: I agree :)

Quote: Ok, thanks. Maybe i shouldn't think about It too much. I mean I still enjoy the music.

Hi, I'm wondering how I notice if good headphone reveal 320kbps bitrate files and under. How does it sound?   I'm wondering because I listen to a streaming service called rdio with my sennheiser hd 518, which I've read can reveal songs that are not transparent enough or are badly recorded...

I've now connected the FiiO D3 to my onboard sound and I really like the sound. I'm very pleased. Didn't expect this kind of boost to the sound quality. Damn this is fun.   :D  

Quote:   Interesting, but my hd 518 will do for a time. I quite recently bought them.   Iv'e read that they sometimes are said to sound "dark". I'm no audiophile and i wonder what "dark" means. Another question. How much will the sound of lossy files be improved by an external dac?
