how, where do you guys choose/download your music? Good hardware also need great music to go with it. Just want to learn from everyone.

 
All of my music is from CD's, which I rip with iTunes using Apple Lossless Compression and the error correction option.  From there it's copied to my iPod.

Leonardo,
 
Nice set up. It seems like that desk was perfectly made for your needs

Leonardo is the guy who did the HE90/HEV90 Orpheus review a little while back, so I'm not at all surprised that his setup is so nice and clean.

Actually the second set (the HP1) came as a big surprise for me, because it belonged to a guy here in Brazil. And I guess most headphone oriented audiophiles participate in the local forum, so I though there were only three HP1000s in Brazil and was really surprised to find out about a fourth one. But it turns out that this really nice man had one and contacted me through my website because wanted to sell it, so I got a fantastic price for it. As much as I would love to keep both there's no reason for it atm, as I could invest the money elsewhere (W3000ANV, cough cough), but I'll probably end up selling the HP2, but locally!

I actually called this a definitive set up not a long time ago, but one does not simply stop trying new headphones... so I ended up replacing a few things

13" MBP Running Amarra
Alo Audio Panam - Running through the supplied Wallwart as I will be traveling - I find the Gateway will make everything too bulky
LCD2 Rev 2 - Bamboo
HE-500
 
I used to like the HE500 quite a bit more with my other amp, now the LCD2 is taking the spotlight with a wider soundstage and more clarity and impact due to the Whiplash TWAG V3 and works amazingly well with the Panam.

cheap old hp laptop --> ODAC --> Vintage (1976 or 1977) Pioneer SX-750 --> AKG Q701..... I just recently upgraded from the E17 to the ODAC. Huge improvement. 
 
For $400, excluding the laptop it is an absolute kill setup. It's honestly the best sounding thing I've heard. 
 
Q701: $240 - brand new
ODAC: $120 - new, but open box
SX-750: $40 - obviously used, but in great condition. A little bit of DeoxIT and it was good to go. Not exactly sure of it's history, but it's very clean and sounds perfect.
