Question about the DR-7's 4-pole plug (for headphones)

As a result of the DR-7's new 1-bit amp, it uses a 4-pole plug in on its headphone jack and remote control. I was wondering if anyone knows if I use a regular 3-pole plug cord, to run a line to my computer and dumb the music onto wav files, will it effect the sound quality. Also, I would like to get some new high definition ear phones and they will probably have 3-poles as well, will that effect anything?

I've already noticed if I use the 4-pole earphones that I received with the DR-7 with anything else like a disc-man, I can only get one channel of music.

On a different note, does anyone know if getting really expensive earbuds like the Sony MDR-E888Lp Fontopia's are really worth the extra $50?

Thanks

I also have the DR7 and have been using a regular set of earbuds with it. The ear buds that came with the unit suck. It shouldn't affect the quality too much using a regular cable to dub onto your computer. I would try using the RCA cable that came with the unit though; buy an adapter that has female RCA to miniplug and connect the two cables. this will integrate the 1-bit 4 pole tech. into the transfer.

I don't know about the E888's though, I use the EX70's and they are deffinately worth the price.
