Most definately fakes. The carrying case is different to my pair. My pair also have lines of nubs with different size labels to store the different sized ear pieces on too. Mine are legit because I bought em at a major Japanese electronics store, Yamada Denki in Shibuya.

Okay, I may be mistaken but can you please define what exactly this `non audio data` that is apparantly present in .wav files IS, if it is not audio data?

I think the interesting thing that has come out in this thread is FLAC defenders going from the line that `FLAC is EXACTLY the same as WAV once decompressed!` to `FLAC only disposes of the NON AUDIBLE data in WAV files, everything you can hear is still there in FLAC!` That is the key I think...

I`ve been looking at getting more battery life out of my D-777 discman. The current 2 x NiMh NH-14WM(A) I use only give me about 4-5 hours. Would sticking in a couple of Li-Ion gum batteries like the ones from Hi MD walkmans blow up my D-777? I think I already know the answer because the...

I use a D-777 Sony discman from the `90s and get exquisite sound out of it. Powerful, detailed and warm. I would like something a little more convenient like a "DAP" and like the look and endorsements of the Sony X series walkman, but only if there is no sacrafice in SQ from what I use now...
