I take it you loaded the gun with that question in hindsight... hindsight !!! what a marvelous word, who ever thought up that retrospective word should be castrated & drawn and thrown to the crows to devour their eyes.....
 
I'll give you an example of hindsight..... today I received a lovely pair of Audio-Technica ATH-ES55 headphones, they're very well made, have a nice design & feel to them.... plugging them into my PC (un DAC'ed, I like it raw & basic... not) and put on a Ryan Bingham CD & several others, first impressions were, nice detailed sound & punchy bass good value for the money, though there is a but.... now I only bought these cause they were 5-Star rated by What Hi-Fi and the reviews were good on the net in general. I'm a bit restricted with time so going round loads of shops listening to headphones is out, but here's the crux of the matter these headphones of some quality (for their price, remember I'm new to this) do not tick my boxes, they do in many areas but there's something lacking (think its the mids, not enough space, hard to pinpoint) so I've sold them for a bit less than what I paid for them (£10-$15)..... so I've now got a dose of upgraditis.
 
Think I may go for a bigger driver of the ATH-ES7 which should give me a wider stage.... your thoughts please
 
 


I've never heard the ES55's, but I would have at least given them a couple of more days to break in before I sold them.....lol.

they guy was standing in front of me loving them, I was unsure if I liked them, it was a perfect marraige.... sold
 
anyhow I bought the Audio-Technica ES7's now and these will have to suffice for a while

I thought you were on about headphones... there actually is a Sony MDR-Z1000 headphone for £450.

It would be better, henceforth, to use Z1000s to refer to the Z1040~Z1070 Walkman and Z1000 to refer to the headphone. Lol.

OK my Z-Series will be here Monday at the latest (maybe tomorrow

)..... given my novice ways, which is the best format to upload from CD for the Sony....
 
On this forum I've learnt about Wav's, Flac's, attract's, mp3 etc etc.... it's all a tad confusing so here's my requirements... best quality with most uploads.
 
Ok I may suffer a bit in quality but I would like to upload a fair amount of music tracks.... that said, how much music would I be able to load-up using lossless files, mines a 32gb WM-Z.
 
ps.... my clear case for the WM-Z arrived today from Japan..... what a wind-up Sony are, it's got a full sized card insert of the player in the case, think I may play around with it for a lil while to get a feel for it.... think air-guitar

I need someone to upload his Android ROM (US versions only, other version may have the EU volume cap), so I can flash my Japanese.
Please if anyone was able or known of such please inform me.....
