So uh, suddenly I am interested in building a portable setup for myself. I'm also very lazy, so I'm not using the search, flame away!
I need ultra-portability, as this will be for hiking, biking, and jogging. Small size, no skipping, many hours of use.
I'm thinking I'll probably rip my CDs with EAC/LAME/Whatever to 384 kbps MP3s (Any good resources/downloads for me?). Perhaps leave them in WAV if anyone thinks it will be worth it. Are there any hard-drive based players that play Monkey Audio? I doubt it.
My headphones of choice are the Koss KSC35, and they probably always will be.
I have an R70 mini-disk player that seems to skip (and it shouldn't AFAIK) and can't really power the Koss KSC35s. I dunno, maybe it's a defective, but I've had it so long that it doesn't matter anyway.
Since my mini-disk experiences have been poor, I am looking at hard drive based players. But I've never looked at that them before at all.
What options are there for a player? For right now, my budget is 'unlimited', but I won't be spending $1K on a portable setup
. I want decent sound quality and plenty of hard drive space. People seem to like iPods, can I use them with Windows? I'm not a Mac guy. Anything different for less $ that sounds as good or better?
And, though this is the wrong forum for amps, do you think I will want a portable amp with my KSC35s? Feel free to recommend me an amp while you are at it. Battery life and small size are pluses.
Thanks!
