| Should I re-rip? I doubt you'll hear a difference between WAV and flac. I have what might be considered a better than "average" system resolving capability and can't hear one. Default settings probably meant the amount of compression. Doesn't affect sound quality,... | |
| best way to connect pc to dac There are lots of options, limited only by your budget and desire/ability to tinker. You have the bare minimum setup and it can certainly be improved. The Computer Audiophile forums are a good place to discuss with folks who are open to these issu... | |

| You cable haters please DO this. Funny how the usual naysayers have not posted on this thread. Not to jinx it. | |
| GutWire Ultimate Grounding Cable Not much on the Groundhog online. They seem to market it as an audible hiss/noise killer, a slightly different tact than Gutwire. At the CA iFi-sponsored area a couple people report the end-to-end measured resistance is 12-15 ohms and infer this m... | |
