Can Lossless Files be Shrunk?
I'd like to move my collection to an iPhone SE, 64g. Problem is my stuff has all been ripped lossless and takes up a lot of room. I def won't need the SQ of lossless with an iPhone using Bluetooth and can get away with a format that takes up less room. Is this possible?- RCM

UE Conversion to Bluetooth?
I have an older (2007) set of UE10 Pros that I'm hoping to convert to Bluetooth. I believe there is a company called Lear(?) that may make a conversion setup but not sure how well it works or if it even exists. Any help in making this happen would be appreciated!- RCM

UE10 Pro Replacement Cable?
Any suggestions for the best replacement cable (in terms of sound) for these IEMs? There are a gazillion cables out there for IEMs, but the UE10 Pros are a very analytical IEM so a bit of softness and coloring might be the ticket with these, so any suggestions appreciated, esp of you have...- RCM

Barenaked V-caps....
To me, the nicest thing about DIY is being able to put together rigs you'd never spend the money on otherwise. In this case, a v-cap connector; no way could I consider dropping the coin on commercially available setups, you get the dock then have to get two interconnects, just too much for me to...- RCM

Looking to fab a v-cap dock for my 5.5G iMod. I figure I can do the work, but don't know which components to use. With so many options for the V-cap or Sonic cap (which I'll probably be using because of the price), which is the best for my application? 5.5G iMod to a PRII to UE10s. Any...- RCM

E4C/iPod Bitrate
Based on replies to a question I asked on another thread (thanks to all who responded!), I just ordered some E4Cs which will be used straight outta the headphone jack of a stock 5G 30g iPod. This'll be my wife's rig. Realizing this isn't going to be the best source for SQ, what bitrate have...- RCM

I'm getting the SO a 5G iPod for her b'day, and am in the process of shopping IEMs. I'm looking toward SuperFi Pro's or Shure E4c's, both ~$175 shipped, or maybe a bit less if I get them used off the marketplace. Then I started to wonder: am I overkilling the capacity of the iPod to...- RCM

UE-10 Pro et al
I'd appreciate a little feedback from those who have used molded IEMs such as the UE-10 as well as others in terms of how the fit/comfort compares to the nonmolded types. I'm attempting to get one headphone setup that can do it all, (I realize that can't be accomplished without compromise)...- RCM
