HFI-780 hands down. The Audio-Technicas don't do bass nearly as good. Besides -- the HFi's are designed specifically for movies/DVDs/videogames

Does anyone know where I can find a replacement cable for the ATH-ANC7? The original one is not working anymore (and the problem is definitely in the cable - wires are showing where it connects to the plug). I don't want to have to get an expensive (but nice) recable... btw it is detachable...

A little bump for some clarification on the second Question.

For some reason there seems to be a little disdain for the "Limited" models of the A900, but I'm personally baffled as to why - the innards of these cans are very different, and very much more hi-fi. Both the ATH-A900LTD and the A900Ti have their own unique drivers, developed specifically for...

Damn that was hard. What was #2 by the way? Every site I searched said ET was voiced by Pat Welsh with help from whats-her-name and Spielberg, not specifying who said the particular line.

Headphones + 0404 USB. It's a D.A.C. with an internal amp - a source and amp in one. When you upgrade, get a dedicated amp and then just use it as a source. Cheap (search on froogle.com, the cheapest are almost at 150) and very good for the money.
