[QUOTE="Doug b, post: 1336344, member: 59143"] Dennis, send me your address and I'll send you my older ROCKbox'd H120. It's old, and well used, so the headphone port on that one is also fiddly at times. Needs to have an air can sprayed into it I think. I'll put some FLAC files on it, tell me what artist(s) you like and I'll see if I have them. As for the headphones and rip taking most of the responsibility, it's a complete circle, or triangle if you will. They each compliment the other. I think the headphones and DAC/amp bear most of the responsibility, whereas a good rip can also sound like crud if played through poor hardware and software. The rest is personal preference. You also have to realize that your ears have a lot to do with it. The older we get, the less we're able to absorb in terms of frequency. Ear canal shape is also a big factor. And don't forget ear wax! Seriously... Tons of things go into why we think what we hear is good or bad. This is why personal preference plays the biggest role here. D, what is your home audio setup? Just curious. Are you using components like mono blocks, pre amps etc. What kind of speakers are you using? Doug Oh, I forgot: [url]www.rockbox.org[/url] ROCKbox'ng the iPod video was easy. The files to do so are right on the ROCKbox site. I'd love to fix that headphone jack. Need a new battery too, I think. Too bad I don't do eBay. Don't trust it.
