Oh man. I cannot BELIEVE these PS audio clowns.
It's bad enough that they will smoke and mirror their way through the obvious fact that digital volume control distorts sound quality, but in addition, they will not bother with flac?
Trust me, my dear newbie, you do not want to drift away from flac. There are very good reasons why your sources use flac. It is a royal pain in the ass to maintain multiple copies of the same music, and it eats hard drive space (e.g. wav, iirc).
If your player will not play flac, get a better player. Your music collection is a lifetime endeavor, and one of the best things about flac is precisely that you do it once and never need to touch it again.
