All right guys. I was looking for suggestions for a few DAPS that might interest me.. but most replies here have been to continue with the iPods. I was already leaning towards trying to get another 5.5g, or a Classic, and it seems that'll be the path I'm taking. Thanks for the condolences...

So this Saturday I had my car broken into, and my 5.5g iPod stolen, as well as my phat PSP (phat being the term referring to the older, non-slim models). I'm a Junior at the local university.. I have a Saturday human sexuality class whose professor also teaches at a nearby Catholic all-guys...

Okay, so I have two agreements that my amp is the weak link. Any specific suggestions to keep a look out for? I'm not very knowledgeable about amps (especially non-portable ones), so I'm not sure what I should be looking for. Any specific brands and models that would have a good synergy with my...

Forgive my ignorance.. But I was under the impression that a DAC was only needed if you were running off of an Optical Out or something similar? How would I incorporate something like the E-MU into my rig? CDP-> Lineout-> E-MU-> Cans?

All right.. Time for my wallet to be sorry very, very soon. I received a pair of DT770-80s for Christmas (thanks, Santa!), and have been enjoying/burning them in since. The sound out of my rig is great, but I'm left wondering if there's more, or if something's holding me back. Unfortunately...

Quick bump for a few more opinions.

Okay, thee of much more can knowledge than I. I need some help. I want to get a pair of cans for a friend's birthday/late Christmas, but I'm kind of stuck on what exactly. I let him try my Grado SR225s once, and while he was impressed at "how clear" it sounded, and how well it separated...

I don't believe so. I recall people saying that the connectors used are different.

While on a recent trip/walk over from my University to the neighboring community college with a class, I noticed someone (perhaps a professor or older student) in the hallway talking on his cellphone. To my surprise though, was that he had a pair of headphones around his neck.. Bose QC3s >_<...

I had the same problem when ripping with iTunes, especially to Lossless files. EAC remedied much of it, but I also have problems converting the WAVs to ALAC. Guess my computer's not powerful enough to be doing batch conversions, and surfing the web.

When I was burning in my Grados, I tried most of the sites listed here, but just found some to be lacking, hard to navigate, or in the case of the last one posted, the DL didn't work. I ended up going with the link in my sig, since you can use test tones, sweeps, and either pink or white noise...

When I was looking for Pink/White noise to burn in my phones, I found this link (which is also in my sig) to be the most useful: http://burninwave.com/generator_dl.htm Has Pink and White Noise, as well as sweeps and tones. You can set it to go continuously, or play for X minutes, then rest...

Actually saw one worth noticing tonight! I'm a server at a restaurant, and, unfortunately, I all too often see teenagers and younger sitting at a table/booth with their iPod on, iBuds in their ears. It's kinda depressing to think about taking your kids out to a nice dinner, and having them...
