Hi - sounds great!

iriver S10 - tiny, ergonomic, 20 nameable FM presets, 2gb is $130 on amazon.com Take 4 CompactFlash cards and stack them up - the S10 is slightly smaller and weighs 1/2 as much. Reviews: http://www.anythingbutipod.com/archi...s10-review.php...

You don't need the iAUDIO software to transfer files to the i7, because the i7 is able to mount as a removable drive. EAC can cover both ripping CD's and encoding to FLAC. See "Suggested EAC settings for FLAC" at hydrogenaudio: http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/...howtopic=30959 You only...

How long are your albums? 8gb i7 should hold about 20hrs of FLAC encoded music. Do you only get 7.7gb usable for music on the i7?

With the Cowon i7 8gb allowing 20hrs of FLAC playback, I've been thinking of ripping my CD collection to FLAC 2. FLAC 2 is only about 5% larger than FLAC 8, and no floating point calculations are required to decode FLAC 0-2 - so FLAC 2 should be easier on the portable player's battery power...

Olympus DS-20 and WS-320M have been good for recording seminars and meetings: - good voice quality - 8-10hrs battery life - built-in stereo microphones - WMA format - USB download to computer Upgraded models are the DS-40 and WS-331M: DS-40 has less recording capacity but also more...

I have the TBH driving HD555's, from VBR MP3's on my PC, and audio CD's on my PCDP. I usually listen with the volume between 1/4 and 1/2 way up. So the TBH should power the HD595 OK. I agree with the majority of people who find the HD5x5's very comfortable - good for 5-10 hour sessions...

My TBH uses the O/S-embedded USB audio drivers on my Win2K PC. First time I USB'd the TBH to my PC, Windows went through the whole "new USB device found" routine, and now the TBH shows up in Hardware Device Manager as "USB Audio Device", using 5 MS driver files. The X5's USB Host...

Young Asian woman with Sennheiser PX100's down around her neck. Attached to Apple iPod w/burgundy-colored skin cover. She spent a lot of time on the phone as I dozed on and off.

On the 7 train from Times Square to Flushing, Queens: late-20's male Caucasian wearing the Sennheiser HD497 while a few Pod People threw sidelong glances at him. Also, a few weeks back on the 4/5/6 in Manhattan: someone wearing the Sony MDR-V6 or similiar. IMO, neither of those 'phones...

Images brightened:

Low-impedance, high sensitivity earphones/headphones can be prone to hiss when used with certain sources and/or amps. Level attenuators can cut down on this hiss by effectively increasing impedance. On one of my setups, the Shure E3 is prone to hiss; adding a Radio Shack 42-2559 "Volume...
