Oh and I have a music library of about 200GB, most are FLAC and vinyl rips.

I've wanted to get into using Lossless audio, I just don't have the space on my phone. I'm probably going to get an old Samsung Galaxy and put a 32GB microSD in it and just use it as a music player.

Is there a noticeable difference between FLAC and 320kb/s mp3?

With capable headphones and a proper rip it can make all the difference.

Know any good ripping software? Or should I just buy FLAC versions from sites like www.hdtracks.com?

As for quality cans, all I own personally is my DT-770s, my girlfriend got a pair of 598s that I could swipe, and I have a friend with a pair of Sennheiser HD650s, which I LOVE. They're really a great pair of cans.

Forgot to ask about yours haha. How do you like them so far? I'm really enjoying mine, and the bass is really tight and punchy. The one thing I'm not liking is how they like in the mids section. I listen to a lot of Mumford and Sons, The Lumineers, and Of Monsters and Men, so the nice bass doesn't add much emphasis there. Once I'm home from this trip I can't wait to try out these cans on my friends Schiit Mjolnir and his Vinyl setup.

coolzeldad:
Ripping software depends on your source, for digital cd I would use EAC and a cd reader that is supported for secure ripping. ( rip to WAV then encode to FLAC )

For vinyl/other sources I would use a stereo lineout into pc card and record with audacity or soundforge. ( cables and interference will degrade signal so I recommend good soundcard + cables )
