o___o   Wow.   I should shoot myself.   I *am* a computer person...   :S   I know that faster speed = better, but that's not necessarily true for the SD family cards. A card with a speed rating of 4 can be better than a card with a rating of 6, but the card with a rating of 2...

Not 'can I use an amp', but 'do I need an amp'. Also, does this change with Rockbox?

I have a clip+ on the way from Amazon. I'm going to use it to play FLACs I'm ripping from CDs, so it's going to run out of space pretty fast, so I need an SD card.   What's the biggest SD card the Clip+ can handle? What's the lowest class I can go to? What class should I get? Is there...

Quote: I'm a pretty big noob, but I'm fairly certain an amp and headphones can't *improve* SQ, just get more out of it, and SQ is my main factor. Price isn't an issue (but I don't want to spend the $700 for the HiFiMan, that is too much).   Also I'm an Android fanboy. I just don't...

Ew. Apple.   *washes hands*   Really, my choice is down to Cowon or Sansa, I'm just looking for a reason to go either way.

I'm not really a fan of open headphones. I only want one pair, and I don't want to disturb people when I'm on a tram or something.   Still can't decide which player to get. I'm going to get cans after I have the player.   Haven't found a good reason to chose either a sansa or a cowon.

There seems to be a bit of contradictory information around about these players, I can't seem to find a definitive answer as to which is the better player. I have no idea which to get...   All I want is a portable way to play FLACs, and listen with eitherthe  HD25 or the DT1350.   I have...

Cool. Thanks.

  I'm very new to the world of hi-fi music. I only just bought my first batch of CDs (was a pirate before) and learnt all about ripping and encoding and was amazed at how good a FLAC could sound compared to an MP3 I downloaded.   I've decided to get a really nice portable music setup, and...

How do I ask the mods to delete this one?

Oh thanks.

Not only am I new to Head-Fi, I'm new to appreciating quality sound. No idea what soundstage is, or what impedance is.   This is probably going to be really unsatisfactory, but I'll give my best at explaining it. It was good. Just really, really good. I was listening to a few tracks, one...

  Hi all.   I'm new to Head-Fi, and I'm an absolute noob with these sort of things, so any help and advice will be greatly appreciated! I've recently started paying attention to music quality, and now that I have a job I've stopped pirating music and am buying CDs, and ripping as...
