ExactAudioCopy ripping software


Hi - I'm little confused

Who can recommend which of ExactAudioCopy programs to buy, in order to rip my 1500 CD collection.(bought a Sonos system with a 500 gig HD)
I want to extract the maximum information.

Been to their website, but they have too many products to choose from - please advise.

Plus once I have selected the right one - are their any recommendations regarding the process you might adise?

Thanks

Hi
I bought the 500 Gg HD separately,Sonos does not provide.
Sonos (current models)force you to their crappy DAC - giving only outputs for amp.
What I liked about Sonos over Sqeezebox is the incredible LCD remote.
What extra advantage does the SX-5000U2 USB Device Server that you recommended provide?

Does anyone else have an opinion of compressed VS uncompressed?
Thanks

Thanks everyone

What is the difference between Compressed Lossless and Uncompressed lossless - reproduction/quality wise??

Although this a second system, one day it could be my first (only if this technology ever evolves to an audiophile level).

So nows the time to choose wisely - I think, as I'd rather rip these CDs just the one time...

I'm prepared to get a larger capacity HD - if it's justified.

Hi Herman - are you saying that I will have a quality problem if go with both compressed and wireless ?

Because thats what im planning: using the Sonos wireless with a high quality DAC and Amp. etc.(once Sonos finally provides for a DAC bypass).

Please advise

Hi
If I rip FLAC - can I convert those same FLAC files to WAV at a later date?

Also how important is the gapless setting when ripping?

Thanks
