You sure you mean AAC, not ALAC? I don't care about ALAC, but and all my files are @256kbps AAC, so I don't feel like converting my library to something else..
Most players will have background noise. Unfortunately some IEMs have high sensitivity. Use an inline resistor to limit the hiss. It might be slightly more difficult to drive with it, but it is worth experimenting. Make sure it is primarily resistive, so that the sound will not be affected. If it has a capacitor (i.e., Etymotic P->S converter), then it will change the sound.
It is is peculiar if it doesn`t support AAC. That is an open standard.
there's the 30 day money back try out, which I know...it is still $439!!!

Of course, being behind the Korean firewall, I may never receive the 602. I'd love to test it fresh, but I'm not willing to risk customs here.
^^ I lived in Canada, so I know what that is about. But imagine this: you are given a relatively good custom limit of 150$, but that custom includes shipping. If you rush a 90$ product, or just suffer from high shipping costs and that number runs above 150$, you pay. Customs in Korea, charges shipping as if it is part of the product. Plus they'll open it and have fun with it all they want. Overall, their package system is very good and I love the post here, but the customs is one of those horrid instances of non-trust and arbitrary governance.
AND: you pay customs and there is NO guarantee that you will see the product. That has happened to me only once, but I don't want to chance it. I've started buying and shipping to Japan instead and waiting till I'm there to pick my stuff up.
I hope you get it in safely. I've paid customs on certain items and never received them. Show my passport, prove that I ain't a terrorist, lose sleep and still no soap.
