As of today June 12, 2004 all codecs stinko at 128 kbps....some sinko less than others but they all stink when used in DAP's as far as I am concerned. In the HA test others agree that there is a seperation of stinko-ness...some stink more or less than others at 128kbps.

Mmm, I don't know. I agree with you about buying the CD but as for the stinko-ness of 128kbps when used with DAP's that's more of a grey area.
Considering that a lot people use 128kbps and listen to their music in a noisy environment (Planes, Trains and Automobiles) with rubbish headphones I don't think the stinko-ness really factors in the equation at all for most. Especially at the minute differences of stinko-ness that the HA crowd throw-up (pun intended).
Unless it's for us sad individuals seeking perfection of course.
