I have a PC, and I love iTunes. What next?

As I read through these threads, I see a lot of folks who think iTunes from a PC into a DAC with a USB cable is mid-fi at best. I've looked at some other formats (foobar and others), and they just can't beat iTunes for convenience and play options. I will have my PS Audio Digital Link iii next week. Am I going to be disappointed? Will a better sound card make a difference?

I called iTunes and changed my import setting to Apple Lossless...I bought a song and it appears as an AAC Audio File..it has a bit rate of 256...is this what you get? The 650 cd's I loaded (3 full days!) appear with a bit rate of 128 kbps and the purchased mucic from iTunes has a bit rate of 256. Both have a sample rate of 44.100 kHz

OK....I readed a CD, and now I have between 844 and 1012 kbps....Thank you very much for the help...

Hey, it's my music. I can reload over the next several weeks and still be very happy. It's worth it to do it right.
