i think the earphones did create something of a choke point. I noticed improvement definitely. Particularly in the background. I could hear the instruments clearer. it was very interesting.
In 'relaxed' music like 'ambient' you'll notice this sooner IMO.
However 128 kbit lossy versus lossless is an easy compare. Try --preset extreme and --preset insane. And not 1 track. And blind test.

Hm. Will check.em out.
I am gunna try to find a local music store and check with the music department at my college.
Pro audio gear likely isn't what you are looking for either, for a whole mess of reasons.
What I've always done when shopping for stereo equipment is to visit a very high end store with a selection of CDs that I'm familiar with, then head to the high end room. Get your ears used to listening to the music, and try to notice what you like about it. Then look for something in your price range that gets close to what you liked about the high end stuff.
Oh... and headphones in general suck. But that's OK, because most of the places you listen on them aren't ideal anyway.

The N810 is plain aweful as a media player; dreadful sound - no headphone is going to improve on that.

Don't forget to look into both open air and sealed cans. I went with sealed because I wanted to isolate myself from office noise. I sometimes wear them at work without listening to anything just to enjoy the quiet.
