Just wondering if anyone can confirm if the iRiver H120/H140 can play Ogg Vorbis Q.10 files? I started ripping some CD's to Q10 in anticipation of my incoming H120, but then I saw some spec. that said the bitrate ability tops out at 320, where Q10 Ogg is ~500. Thanks! I know Rockbox will enable...

Sorry I know I mentioned this in the "Portable players w/optical out" thread but, now I'm kinda dying to know: Does the SlimX 550's optical out work when it is playing MP3/WMA files? I downloaded the manual and didn't see any mention of this. The Sony players specifically do NOT and that's...

Thread title says it. Can anyone with experience with these headphones recommend me some headphone amps that pair well with these? For those who aren't familiar with them they are 120 ohm, and I've read that they have are similar to K501's but with a fuller bass response. I've never owned 501's...

Can Foobar2000 perform a "Copy To" operation from a playlist, similar to the "Convert To" operation but without transcoding, just a plain file copy to a location of my choice. My grand vision would be to make a playlist, select all songs in playlist, and run this copy operation at which time...

I listen to music thru headphones @ work, nearly 40 hrs/week and am really wanting to try some nicer phones. I'd like to try Grados but I'm worried that they will be too uncomfortable for constant use, what with what everybody says. Does everyone recommend against them for that reason? I...

Maybe I'm just out of touch but E-Bay has been really perplexing me lately. I can see some general trends that make sense, but then others completely throw me off. With the DAP market really heating up, I expected vintage PCDP and Minidisc to cool down. Well the PCDP's seem to have cooled off...

What kind of audio gear do you have at work? Do you leave it there, or transport it back and forth? Do you switch between multiple sources ie. PCDP, Minidisc, DAP, PC, etc? I'm just curious because work is where I do 99.9% of all my headphone listening. I'm a programmer/analyst so I'm pretty...

Can you help a newb out and explain why Bose Triports suck so badly? Target had a display with Triports plugged into a Shuffle and it sounded great to me. Real nice and crisp, tight bass, and soundstage seemed very lifelike especially on the acoustic jazz tracks they had on the player. Now...

Hi everyone. A new PCDP sucker was born yesterday as my D-303 arrived in the mail. I noticed something funny right away and I would like to run it by you guys. When I plug headphones into the line-out, a) it's really really loud compared to any PCDP line-out I've ever heard and b) there's a...
