It was an enlightening read.
This is a thread for our regular brain trust to chat about what they're working on, tests they may be considering and just general science chit chat.
Headphonia couldn't have sqeezed more bollocks into a paragraph even if they had teamed up with Neil Young.
I wouldn't say that audiophiles are chasing ghost with higher end expensive models though. I have heard some very high end rigs and they are definitively superior to the Sansa players. That said, many worthy high end rigs require more space, and commitment (time and cash.) Definitively, most (if not all) of these rigs are not nearly as practical as a Sansa player paired with IEMs.
I have a Zip (Rockboxed) and I absolutely love it (actually I have 2.) One plus thing about it for me is that it can play a wide variety of formats which adds to the convenience factors you already mentioned. SanDisk have an absolute winner with this little player. Paired with a set of KSC-75 the Sansa player is great. Unfortunately, I have painful ear wax build up issues with IEMs, but I agree some of them are superior to my Koss headphones.
