I recently bought from you an iBasso DX120 player, 90% happy with it. Also bought, not from you, Fiio F5 earphones, also happy with them, though I believe they may have discontinued them. Anyway, I tend to download from Amazon music or upload from my cd collection, classical music, using a free program called ‘Free Rip MP3. As you say it tells me it is a 16bit 44.1 KHz. Before I would just use the MP3 codec? then I discovered I could use the Flac codec which I found alters the Kbps, example MP3 would be something like 231 Kbps and the Flac would be anywhere between 500 – 731. I have a feeling that would change because of the music perhaps. It seem to sound better, but I’m not really sure. Also I realise that what I do is not as good as buying Hi-Res audio music from a supplier who would send me Hi-Res music. So, is what I’m doing a complete waist of time? I do love my iBasso player and earphones, I tend to listen to my music more intently than before, the sounds are much greater. I cannot afford the sort of prices that higher quality systems ask for, well not at the moment. Anyway, thank you again. Most informative.

It’s amazing to think of CD as old hat – technology moves so fast. I wonder what we’ll be listening to in 10 years!? 🙂
