i ripped almost everything to flac for my pwd/bridge including hi res. enjoyed j river myself using a pc but psa's elyric is coming around nicely. still a bug or two but they are close to getting it all sorted out.
many of us are using the "trans-code of the fly" feature elyric has. converts everything to wav before sending it to the bridge. this seems especially useful for hi res as some of us reported drop outs without the feature engaged. looking back...i kinda wish i had ripped everything to uncompressed wav but in the grand scheme of things, i doubt it matters that much. the "on the fly" feature takes some of the workload off the bridge from what i understand.
know there are many mac users on the psa forums. you might want to check in there as well.
good luck
