Yeah, but the SwissGear ones are really nice. Admittedly, I'm probably falling for the name, but still...guaranteed quality.

What are you listening to Part Two
"Less good", I prefer to say, since I still enjoy it. The Brazilian, Tonight Tonight Tonight, Domino (pts. 1 & 2) are all great songs, and I even enjoy Land of Confusion. Me: Beethoven 7, Fischer, SACD

Which set? I see that Kondrashin has several, one of which appears to be DSD mastered? Or are they actual SACD's? Never mind, will go look it up. I need more Shostakovich.

Too bad he replaced those woofers with orange juicers. I wonder what that sounds like.

Mobile Phone-like Device
These two statements seem mutually contradictory. If you're going to keep the iTouch for all the data services and apps, I'm thinking you need a dumb phone. Maybe a camera. The point being, most smart phones will require a data plan. Unless what that means to you is, "so the question becomes, what smart phone has the cheapest data plan"?

Playing High Resolution Audio Files Through a Mac?
Dude, hardly anyone does DSD, that's a niche market, and hardly a good representation of the industry. And if you think my statement was an over-reaction, then it's because I made the same mistake you did -- I insufficiently qualified my statement. The way I read it, it sounded like you were saying ProTools was exclusively PC, which it isn't. So I stand by, "incorrect". What annoys me is not the anti-Mac reaction, but the fact that you feel that stating something more loudly makes you moar right -- it doesn't, it just makes you sound moar wrong. I'm sure if my opinion of you went down a notch, others' did, too.

What did you do today?
I don't have a Mac. Ha-ha.

HD800 Impressions
Uh, so let me get this straight -- you thought the day would come where you wouldn't be able to listen to them any more, so you pre-empted that day by making it show up earlier?

I'm sure you could get someone to build you one -- the schematics are out there.

You know they'd prefer cash.

Playing High Resolution Audio Files Through a Mac?
That's probably because the guys who use Macs are actually working rather than wasting time posting. And I'm sure by "alternative", Hopstretch meant BeOS.
