Assuming my source is lossless on my iphone; what quality/bitrate will be sent to these headphones via bluetooth?

Foobar sounds so much better than iTunes.  Even in directsound mode...

I'm using the same settings in both programs. WASAPI Push. Bitmatched 16bit playback all lossless files. J River is much more dynamic sounding?  Any one else have the same experiences?       

Going to try some abx tests

Yes I know it doesent make sense.  I just got into foobar with WASAPI Push (Bit-Pefect Play back) on my Titanium HD (Audio Creation Mode)   My entire collection of songs consists of ALAC.  I figured why not convert a song to FLAC and see if there's any audable diffrence?   Well after about...

Nothing you can do about that untill a software update.   Honestly you should use J River with the WASAPI.  It blows itunes out of the water. 

DAC on the Titanium HD is outstanding.   I recently starting using foobar with WASAPI "exlusive mode" (bit-perfect)  and must say the detail level has increased.  Make sure to set your conrol panel on the right settings.    

Well I just returned my pair, had them for about a week.  The clarity and separation was outstanding but I kept finding my self rasing the volume to hear the vocals and all I kept hearing was more bass and treble which lead me to my refund.    My M50's maintain more foward mids than the pro...

Just bought another pair of 598, (i previously had a used pair and loved them but sold them because I needed the cash at the time.   This time I bought I brand new pair off ebay for $230!   Cant wait.    The reccessed mids on my M50's are really starting to bug me..

Just bought this card guys, intailly (Xonar was way to bright for my liking)  Hope the blaster delivers.    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829102033

Just the cost of the Arcam r/dac ($480), everything I bought and didn't like was returned promptly for a full refund...     My upgrade's went, HRT Music streamer II, Xonar STX, Emotiva XDA-1, and now the Acam r/dac.  

About 2 hours in with the Arcam and I'm finally happy to say Goodbye CD Player!!!!     The Arcam r/dac detail retreival and BASS is apsuletly outstanding.  Very laid back but detailed response without that "bright" cold digital feel.      Finally satisfaction with a DAC!!!        

I will be picking up the arcam within the next couple hours, impressions soon to come. 

Yes, 1GB of ram for XP, and 2GB for 7. 

Thanks purple!  I noticed the headphone amp on this card has a very slight hiss, while as my AX-497 has 0 his.    Thus, I will benefit here from using the an amped output to my ax-497.

Yes the n570 and the n2600 have plenty of processing power.   2GB of ram for windows 7 is a MUST however.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829102041   This sound card has a headphone out that is amped, and your usual line outs.  If im going to hook this up to a speaker amp via 3.5mm to RCA cable's should I used the amped output or line out? (green jack)  (obviously the...

Just bought this DAC, should arrive within the next couple of days.       Ive gone through a xonar STX, and a Emotiva XDA-1 completely unsatisfied.   Hoping this will change my mind, because right now, to my ears, my el cheapo sony cd player still sounds the best..   Thank god for 30 day...

Update, going to try out another DAC,  Arcam rDAC  incoming!!!!

http://www.monstercable.com/productdisplay.asp?pin=2300   Going to be using the cable above once my new mobo/soundcard arrives.   My mobo also has the latest onboard via chipset, curious to see how that sounds compared to the soundcard!

Recently purchased a new sound card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829102041   I usually run an aux cable from my soundcard to my HI-FI AX-497 receiver and then use the 1/4th jack on the reciever to the m50s.  But now since the soundblaster has a build in amp bypassing...

Quote: YES!!!! Silk tweeters are amazing, Energy's linup uses the silk tweeters, they are fantastic.  Supposodely aluminum is better tho, I have yet to hear aluinum tweeters however.

Quote:     Quote: Correct.   To bad the mobo just blew up.   Stay away from asrock people, going back with gigabyte.
