Thanks for all your responses! As of now I understand that converting between lossless will still yield the same wav at the end of the day. krmathis mentioned the difference in containers between the alac and wma's wav output. Can anyone provide a bit more info on this container? Thanks!

Hello, I hope the title caught your eye and that you're savvy on the topic! Here's the deal. I ripped Klein Mandelbrot, song 13 from Blue Man Group's Audio using easy cd-da extractor into wav. Then I kept one version of wav while I converted another version into wma lossless. A third version was...

So it turns out that they were fake I measured the length of the cord was 590mm from plug to division instead of 510mm. The right and left side were +-1cm each. So beware of CX300 sold in the package I showed in my previous post! Hope this helps! PS: The Ebay seller already refunded my money!

Hello, I just received the cx300 I bought in Ebay from "yourticketcontact", the same as the one in the pic I attached. Unlike the cx300 shown in the first page of this thread, mine did not come with a user manual. Secondly, on the top right corner of the cardboard under mp3 the color of "cd dvd...

I just got a BA recepter radio and WOW!!!! Amazing, simply amazing. The level of details I can pick up is comparable to that of my Sennheiser hd280's (That's a lot to say for a mono speaker 1kg box). I was looking for ipod docks as well and decided this would be the best price/SQ option out...

hi tako_tsubo, you indeed touched on a very important point in my internal debate: advantages of extra battery life and possibility of charging while still having a decent line-out. Thanks for your comment. Though right now I'm feeling like trying out both to check which one will better suit my...

Thanks Sherwood and mrarroyo. I pm'd Turbo asking about his turbodock. The head-direct lineup also looks good. However, in any case, would the difference in quality of the female mini connectors in the turbodock, head-direct dock, pocketdock, etc. make much of the difference? Or does the...

Hello everyone! First off I've found all posts incredibly helpful in my quest to get a decent rig. As of now here's my portable plan: Ipod 80gb -> ???line out of some sort??? -> Corda Move -> Senns 280pro. As you may presume my question lies on the lineout. I've checked all posts regarding...

Hello everyone, I haven't posted anything in a long time basically because I haven't got the money to get serious in the business. All I've got is my good ol Senns 280 silver and my desperation for anything better than my laptop headphone out. Anyways, I'm going to my 3rd year mech engineering...

They have been with me for 6 months now. I can only show my cans with pride whenever anyone asks me why they are so big, and then let people discover through their ears the magic of these cans. However, the best part comes when some of my friends tell me I even look y with my cans on. They go...

I tried different configurations, different arrangements with no luck. I will look for another pc to test it. Javier

Thanks for the tip, when I tested it I used in the port that was used previously by the mouse, and I moved mouse, printer and Clie to a hub. Im going to change the configuration to see if it works. Thanks again! Javier

Hello everyone. I just got this USB sound card to improve over the Realtek AC97 Audio sound card in my Toshiba A70 laptop. I got to say I am totally unimpressed. All of a sudden I hear clicks and bops during playback, and the virtual surround, even if it creates a good impression, causes too...

I just got my Senn 280 silver, same as the 280pros. I can tell you they are quite easy with portable equipment. I perceive more volume out of them than the bunch of cheap headphones I have out of my Riovolt Sp100 at the same volume out of the cd player. Also, you would have to try them for...

I just posted on the main discussion because I feel in heaven with this great sound. Coming from the MDR V150 from Sony, which were well suited for my untrained ears, I have to say the sound is great. I find the bass to be very defined, maybe a fist doesn't punch your head but I wouldn't need...

I finally got my Senns 280Pro Silver YEAHHH!!! I think most of you have been greatly spoiled (I will eventually get there hehehe!) For me, upgrading from the Sony MDR V150 (which at their time sounded great for my untrained ears) I find their sound just incredible out of the box. I read a lot of...

...mainly for safety reasons. I seem to have an inmense ability to stumble on things, and I wouldnt want the cable get tangled and pulling my ear back. As for the 280s, I've kept reading that after a goooood loooong burn in they are really good, and if you add the bluetak mod then you've got a...

Hello people! Vancouver isnt full of cans shops, so I have to make do with what's availabe. I found the Ultrasones HFI 550 DJ1 for 195CAD plus tax (14.5%) Would you recommend that? ps: what a tortous pain

Thanks for your comments! Do Futureshop have them? I havent seen them, would I have to special order them? Thanks Javier

Hello everyone, I've read the posts over and over again, and I've managed to settle it down between these two. The 25's are out of my budget (I'm a college student and I was supposed to be studying tonite ) I need tons of isolation. I've seen the 280 get better in time and I think they might...
