Tweeter at ear... | |
| Squeezebox duet best sounding output? Coax sounds a smidgen better than Toslink from my Duet Receiver to Stello DA-100. Coax has potentially higher bandwidth than Toslink. Toslink can save you from a ground loop hum from a CATV box, but generally better to stick with Coax. | |
| FLAC Solution I stuck with EAC for a long time because it is supposed to the 'the best'.After trying dBPoweramp, I wish I had done it much sooner. Sounds the same to me, and it is much much easier to get the metadata right. It uses several sources and compares ... | |

| eac vs windows...artwork help etc... I use EAC to rip and tag and use WMP to find artwork. Can't say it's the best way but I have been doing it a while so it doesn't take long, and I find WMP finds decent versions of the cover art.I rip each album to a separate folder in my FLAC dire... |
