I am thinking of purchasing a brand new 1998 Sony discman online for under $100 (I used to own the particular model back in the day), but I am wondering if I should be concerned about it operating correctly since it's been unused for 15 years. Would any of the circuitry degrade over the past 15...

My entire music library is ripped in uncompressed WAV. I only use iTunes 10.5 for media playback, and I am aware WAV does not allow metadata for album tagging. I'd like to add album art to my files only for playback on my iPhone. Does anyone have any experience converting from WAV to AIFF or...

I mainly use my HD650's for at-home listening with an amp, but I am looking for a back-up pair of cans for work. I don't plan on moving them back and forth, I'll probably just keep them locked up so I don't mind full-size cans or anything that doesn't fold up.   My source will be an iPhone 4...

I am thinking of getting the Samsung Infuse 4G. Any word on it's headphone out SQ?

Quote: Thanks, this seems good for my budget. Should I stick with a Pioneer center, rear speakers, and subwoofer also so it voice-matches?

I am purchasing components for a 5.1 home theater system, however I am on a tight budget. I am having difficulty choosing floor/tower speakers for a left and right channel. I will be spending 60% of the time using the speakers for home theater and 40% for music playback (classic rock).The room...

HD650's.

I feel like the 1/4" plug is heavy and getting stressed when it's plugged into the ST's jack. Has anyone's ST jack or plug gotten damaged by this?

I don't really have any equipment to audition off though, if that's an issue.

I guess I'll just keep 9.2, I re-installed 10.2.1.1, checked to make sure the EQ was off or flat, verified my output in QuickTime to make sure it was 24/96 WASPAI, and checked Windows 7 audio settings to make sure my sound card is outputting 24/96 and iTunes has exclusive rights and playback...

May 14th would work for me. Anywhere in the Chicagoland area is fine, just let me know.

I stumbled upon this thread, I had another one going:   http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/543510/itunes-10-2-qualiy-playback#post_7348465   Maybe it's just me but iTunes 10.2 seems a bit muddy on playback.

June works for me.

Quote: Good idea, I forgot to check that. Which version are you using? 10.2 or 10.2.1?  

Quote: Good point, I'll try converting to ALAC and see if that helps.   Quote:   Weird, maybe I'm going crazy then. My bass just sounds really off, or it could be that it was muffled before iTunes finally fixed the bass issue to make it a bit more prominent.    

Quote: At least in my experience right now, iTunes seems to be affecting the playback quality of the audio file. It doesn't harm the file itself.     Quote: Dang. So I guess the only solution is converting everything to FLAC and then tagging it with Foobar 2000?  

I do have WASAPI output enabled and my playback definitely sounds better. I would love using Foobar2000 but I haven't found a way to tag WAV files for scrobbling use for Last.fm.

Issue posting can be found here, not sure if anyone else is experiencing the same. That thread is only a couple of weeks old:   http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2576529&start=60&tstart=0     I have two computers, I upgraded one to 10.2, and I'm still using 9.2 on...

This may be a silly question, but I'm using iTunes 9.2 to play WAV files. I haven't upgraded to 10.2 yet, I was just curious if anyone that upgraded to 10.2 notices a degrade in audio quality playback? I was reading issues about 10.1 that was occurring with Mac, I didn't know if Apple fixed it...

I'm up for it.

Can the Essence ST properly power Adam speakers?
