Re: HD-595s

you need to encode at higher than 256 i would suggest. Try playing a cd through itunes without compressing it. 256 is still fairly compressed.

I have the asus xonar d2 (pci version rather than pci-e which is the D2x i think) and it does make a difference. A high quality source played through it sounds much better.
