A question for those who voted for 1st option: do you own hi-end system?

I don't think hi-end systems' owners use them for listening mp3s.

^ how would you define "hi-end system" for the purpose of this thread ... what brands, should it cost 1000 EUR or 10000 EUR, small wattage, high wattage ...

I think I already described my gear, but how about a professional recording interface on the computer (Line 6 KB37) into a pair of Sennheiser HD 595?

don't know about hi-end system, but I have been listening to my rips (in 256K mp3 and in FLAC) on my Sansa Fuze with Ultimate Ears Super-Fi3 and I know there are audible differences when ripped in different format. 

But i don't think i will hear them well anymore. I hearing high frequency all the time. Been playing loud metal music in headphones for more than 20 years, I think i'm losing my hearing. Cry
