Some DACs or players like the Oppo 95 allow you to play high rez FLAC from a USB thumb drive. This seems like a good solution for those of us who don't want to hook up a laptop to our stereos.
Also you can burn DVD-As from high rez files, although my old player has a hard time reading these. Also I think there's a 24/96 limit to DVD-A, so you might not be able to copy 24/192 files to a disc.
Stl114_NJ, you might try to make a DVD-A instead of copying the FLAC files. If you're using a Mac, there's a program called Burn that is free and can turn your high resolution files into a DVD-A. That way your Oppo won't have to try to interpret FLAC. And it should already understand DVD-A.
There's another program for PCs I've used successfully, but I forget what it's called. You can go to the Phish download site's FAQ (Phish make their shows downloadable in high rez FLAC) and there's a link there to a Turtle Beach (?) website that lists tools for making DVD-As.
