Re: [Apple iPod] bit rate

I would say i am an audiophile as well. I use my ipod with Shure se420 and a total bit head amp. In my truck i have the direct connection to my alpine deck and subs,amps and such. Today has been a lot of fun with my Shure and amp with AAC 256. Huge difference

Did you try intermediate bit-rates? General opinion is that 192 CBR is
"transparent" with MP3 and should be easily so with AAC. I use 160 VBR MP3
(which typically averages around 200) and find it sounds pretty good.

Apple chose 256 AAC for their premium rate downloads at iTunes.

I doubt you'd get any further improvement unless you go lossless, as Eugene
says.

And yes, I'm an "audiophile". Most of of my "proper" hi-fi is Linn.
