Thanks, i'll take a look at those. Any one else have anything to say? Cheers!

So i've got a few questions regarding head phones. I currently have the sony V-700s (for over the head phones) and i like their sound and most other things about them other then they are a pain in the hear after extended listening periods. i have somone willing to buy them off me, so i am looking for somthing to replace them with. I've looked at, and heard alot about the D-66 eggos. i think they look awesome. they probably sound good, although my feeling is that they wont be the v-700's sound. not that i'm killing for the exact sound, but i think their sound will be inferior. this is only a guess based on specs, and what i've red over the past year. but.. now exists the new D-777 . these seem to be a fair match to the 700s. but guaging by the price, they might be better ( ? ). i prefer the look of the the 66s myself, but thats a personal opinion thing that i have to deal with . also, is the fact that they have come up with this new line mean that they will stop production of the 66, and so if i ever want a new pair of them i need to buy now? finally, i know lots of people are against the bose triport, but i'd like to hear some honest opinions on them. i know they are not foldable, light and flimsy, have a cord to each cup, etc. i want to know waht they sound like. if their sound is porweful, full and/or tight. are they comfy on the ears? i think you konw what i'm asking anyways, thanks alot for any/all of your guys help. you guys often come up with good, fair, and agreeable opinions. so i think are the best guys to ask. thanks!!

Now that sonic stage allows for atrac files to be encoded without copy protection, wouldn't that mean we can share them between each other? I've searched, although not extensivly, for a bit torrent site sharing either exculsively or not, Atrac3plus files. I know it is a relativly small niche, but i'm sure we'd all love to have it. I dunno, is anyone inerested in putting one up?

I don't understand what this is all about. in my mind, lossless means nothing is lost, correct? and lossless formats take ALL the information and digitally compress it like a "special" zip file for audio. then how can there me a bit rate associated to a lossless file? smaller bitrates mean smaller files right, because less information is kept. how can this be considered lossless? i mean, if it is the case, why don't i just go encode all my music at the lowest bit rate of lossless and have everything i own on a 40 gig hardrive in perfectly archived lossless quality. on the other hand, maybe i missed somthing over this post that explains this whole thing and now look like a total retard.... either way, i still wanna know.
