I've just recently bought a 30 gig Zen Xtra, and beyer DT770's. I'm really liking both, but this hobby seems to be the wallet killer.
I have to decide whether or not it would be better to convert all my music to mp3's or leave it uncompressed and get an 80gig usb drive, and swap it out with the drive in the Zen, thereby having an 80gig Zen and a 30gig external drive. If I do the latter I'll just stick with what I have, finish my Meta42, and build a really nice amp for home use. If I do the former, I'll probably get a pair of MS-2's, sell the Beyers and wait on building anything but the Meta.
My questions are:
Has anyone had extensive experience with both MS-2's and DT770's, and if so, how much better are the MS2's?
How much of a drop in quality is there when going from wav to 320kbps mp3?
How difficult is it to swap the drive in the Zen?
Thanks for any suggestions
