Sure, there can be noise in the analog portion of the signal... after it is converted by the DAC. But that's not what this device is claiming to do. And if it is... it's placed in a section of the signal chain that makes no sense for its application. You're not going to get any extra noise out...

Digital data is transferred over analog means, but it's still digital with a digital protocol that has error checking and correction built in. So it is about "ones and zeroes." If there is enough interference to flip a bit, how could this device know the difference and correct it? All without...

Easy to detect. Also, the data coming over Ethernet is digital and the protocol has built in error detection and correction. There's no such thing as the RF noise this description is inferring. I'd love to read a technical paper on how this thing allegedly works, all with no power source.

Just ordered a pair for $14.99 shipped at Newegg, on sale till 7/18.

I just ordered them from buy.com for $24.99, free shipping. http://www.buy.com/prod/audio-technica-ath-fc700a-stereo-headphone-connectivity-wired-stereo/q/loc/101/209856574.html

Everyone agrees, FLAC is the best lossless codec for all practical purposes. For a lossy codec I would use Exact Audio Copy (software interface) w/ the LAME encoder installed and encode to V0 (quality setting) mp3 files. More info here: LAME - Hydrogenaudio Knowledgebase

iGrados, just got them 2 days ago. They do a good job showing me just how crappy some of my audio sources are.
