Which Bitrate To Use?

[Big Kev]

I have a 60G Vision:M, but will shortly be receiving my new set of Shure E500PTH phones, so my current set up of 128kbps WMA's won't be of a high enough standard to make good use of them.

Should I go the wave route, or would 320kbps MP3's be good enough or is WMA lossless any good?

Cheers.

The problem is that the Vision:M won't take flac and I really want to get the best use of the phones, so would 256k vbr be good enough?

I've settled with 320k Lame v -2, using EAC, cheers for the advice chaps.
