Although it's most unlikely, I'm wondering if there is anywhere an affordable HD personal stereo that will play 24/96 WAV files. (Not because I think I could tell much difference between them and 44k1/16, but because a colleague wants to know...)
Also while I'm at it, I'd be grateful for any recommendations for price-no-obstacle earbud type cans. I have used etymotic, which I think are definitely the canine testicles, but I also need something more like the traditional hang-out-of-your-ear buds which do not cut the listener off from external sounds.
