| PC recomendation for cd ripping Looks like Tune_Man gave you good info, go with that...-RW- I still loves me some dbPowerAmp! | |
| PC recomendation for cd ripping The best ripper of all is dbPowerAmp, and it is priced very low. It also uses the multiple cores of your processor to speed things up. As for ripping to FLAC, use Level 5 or 6. This will net you files about 60% the size of the original with full f... | |

| Three Sets of Speakers The Emotiva SR-8100 receiver fulfills most of your needs. It has a *true* 80 watts/ch., all 7 channels driven simultaneously. Most Denons, Yamahas, etc. only spec. for 1 or 2 channels driven, running all simultaneously results in *greatly* reduced... | |
| noob DAC question Oh yeah, one more thing, and I hope I'm not sounding like and Oppo shill (I'm just a *very* satisfied customer), but the BDP-103 will also accept input from a USB device - you can directly connect any of the USB drives that are now so affordable. ... | |
