By the way, do FLAC equal 24/192? And is it possible to RIP CD's in 24/192 quality or are CD's limited to 16/96?

As one of a few Woo Audio's WES owners I'd proudly say I'm happy with the amp since the day I unpacked, it's working just fine pairing with an O2s IMO WES is the best O2s driver I ever auditioned. Due to the price you have to well considers before place an order Stax thread would do a lot of helps and audition is needed.
In the same price range I'm sure the great BHSE is the best statics drivers ever made probably better than my WES because of its circuits design also better specification. IMHO better numbers doesn't mean you'd like what you heard out of it, take your time get an info as much as you want 'til you sure. Once again, audition is needed.
Ok, so what do you guys think about the following setup?
PC -> Hegel HD20 -> WOO WES -> SR-007 MK2.
According to Hegel the HD20 is supposed to rebuild the audio from the source so I presume that the source (PC) won't be the bottle neck?
Also, how do I connect the DAC to the PC with coaxial cables when my PC have no coaxial input? Do I need some sort of adapter?
I am getting tired of listening to music using my Beats by Dre, so I have decided to make an upgrade.
I want some of the best I can get my hands on (in an affordable price range) so I have looked on the Stax SR-007 MK2 earphones.
Thing is, people say the SRM-007tII amp is not as good as other amps in a similar price range, such as the KGSSIs this true? I don’t want to by some really great headphones with an amplifier that do not bring out the best in these
What setup would you recommend me using?
I listen to all kinds of music such as hip-hop, rock, symphony, pop, mainstream ect.
Also, I would like to use the headphones in my home cinema. Also, I assume I will need a DAC in order for me to transform music from my PC into the amplifier and into the headphones?
I don’t really want to spend countless of hours researching the topic. I just want some REALLY great stuff right here, right now.
I'm going to assume that you understand your finances and your stated budget of $5K is a reasonable choice for you,
Ok, done a little research.
As I can see FLAC is usually just CD's ripped without lose.
Most people on this forum say they can't hear the difference between FLAC and 320kbps. According to HDtracks a CD is supposed to be 1400kbps.
If that is the case then I presume that I want be able to tell the difference between FLAC and 192/24bit either?
yes you CAN go straight for the Ferrari and learn to drive properly on it, and after a while become good that way.
