I'm not really hi-fi... more mid-fi, and it's okay. The music sounds good, I don't really notice any artifacts too badly, but I keep my files high-bitrate.

So yeah, I do regret being picky and needing non-distorting sound, especially with the unsubtle Panasonic HTX-7s and their extrovert bass response. The combination of AIFF, line-out on the iPod dock and my Pannys sounds good to my ears at last, so I'm happy enough with what I've got. |
