However, if your main drive for looking at better gear is the thrill of exploration and being open to new discoveries, then I think that's a much better motivation.
Minsan naman yung sinasabing improvement ng ibang tao in audio quality is a placebo effect. Other times, it's not necessarily better, just different from what they're used to. Although sometimes, oo nga better talaga. Hehehe. Kaya useful din maki-audition at maki-pakinig sa system ng iba

for me, in a properly set-up system (like those we have heard during the hifi show), the iPod is good enough (translated to tagalog as "puede na" or pasado na") for me? my answer is YES. is this my preferred source for music? NO. as i said earlier, i like the iPod's portability and convenience. i have 3-hour massages and i don't want to get up every 20-mins flipping LPs. (i'd much rather have my masseuse flip me over every 20 mins instead). the iPod is king in my massage room and the vinyl is the queen in my music room.

1) decent files: 320kbps AAC or Lossless
2) decent connection: you mst use the dock connector, either for analog output or getting the digital stream
3) decent speakers/amp/DAC/headphone: whether you use a DAC or straight analog out, the end system also matters

Sir muypogi, I've been ripping my CDs using ALAC for archiving purposes (taking your advise #1)... I choose to go digital (for the time being)... What dock connector would you advise me to checkout? Will saving up & purchasing a Wadia I-transport be a good investment?
