| Question about Metrum Octave and 192 kHz Does anybody have any thoughts on the merits of upgrading the SB Touch to handle 192 kHz files? Is it worth the effort? Is 192 audibly better than 96 kHz? | |

| How to convert FLAC to WAV ? Thanks, Steve. I meant "component" video cable, not "composite" video cable. My system is an Audio Research sp3c preamp, ARC VT100 MkII power amp, and Acoustic Zen Adagio speakers. I think it is a fairly resolving system. | |

| Lip balm for CD scratches? I've also thought about spraying on polyurethane. Polyurethane probably has a similar index of refraction as the polycarbonate discs, and as it dries, the surface tension will probably cause it to fill in minor scratches and dry with a relatively ... | |
| Uprgrading my Metrum Octave DAC Steve N., I ripped several hundred CDs (using XLD) as FLAC files. Can they be converted to WAV files, or do I have to rip them all over again? thanks, Matt | |
