Or do you have to do some weird workaround? I have been experimenting w/FLAC rips using WinAmp and am so far quite satisfied, especially since the player is a freebie. Next step will be to run a coax from confuser to the D/A section of my CA 840c and check it out.

Why not try a little experiment and rip to a lossless format yourself? Then play it back, A-B'ing it against the original file. I am quite satisifed with FLAC, and I can hear no difference between that and the original WAV file. Give it a try and report back to us what you hear... Best Wishes, -RW-
