Hi ya'll.
I'm considering changing my DAP since the battery of my IPpod classic 5 gen. is now on the verge of total collapse.
I was contemplating the Cowon x7 as a new tool of choice for the music source. Here's the point where my questions and requests start off:
- I would pair my source with my Etymotic ER-4B, enhanced through my amp (IBasso D-Zero). Do you think this gear would fit the Cowon? If not, do you have another clue as to which DAP would match the components listed above?
Just so you know, I think I'm not going to push some more money into I-pods, I-touch or I-phones. The whole debate over the Wolfson chip has taken the best of me. Besides, I'm pretty sure that as audiophile quality goes, one's better of with something else than Apple. But again, I'm maybe misleading myself here. Any advice is gold to my eyes and will be welcome.
- Oh and, I am the non-compressed music kind, so all my music is coded in Apple lossless. I take that Cowon or any other non-Apple DAP would not manage my datas and that I'll have to go through all my CDs again, and play the whole library again. Sheesh, that perspective is boring me stiff... Any thoughts on this too? Anybody knowing about some software able to convert Lossless to AAC or whatever the least compressed format would be for any give DAP I'm to purchase?
Price won't matter until we reach the 400-500 dollars mark.
So anyone having ideas?
I thank you all in advance, guys.
