What is your favorite listening system for music? Currently my living room setup is a Sony Home Theater Amp and Cerwin Vega RE25 speakers -- both purchased at the Goodwill. I just had to replace the foam surrounds on the RE25s, but they have 10" woofers and can shake knick knacks off the mantle. At work I have a Bravo Audio V2 Tube Headphone amp, Syba Sonic SD USB DAC, and Audio Technica M50 headphones. I have another DAC coming from China to test out. I've been gravitating toward buying and playing more lossless files, even though I'm not sure I can hear the difference. I accidentally bought the Bjork "Vulnicura" album at 24 bit/96khz resolution, and it sounds great played at full resolution, but I'm not sure I could tell it from 16bit/44.1khz in a double-blind test. For that matter, I've listened to 320kbs MP3s of this album and they sound great too.
