I have re-ripped my 1000+ cd collection to FLAC sitting on a CentOS based, RAID-5, 1.5TB custom Linux media server box, streamed to 2 SB3's 1 SB2 and 1 SB1 throughout the house. The main system runs the SB3 as a Transport and sends the digital output through a Musical Fidelity Trivista DAC-21. I also run another SB3 also through Musical Fidelity X components and Sennheiser HD-600. I have not pulled a CD off my shelf for months. Sound is smooth, transparent, indistinguishable from the CD's and I have the bonus of making the same FLAC collection transcoded through the Jinzora Web Jukebox, available at any mp3 bitrate to guests or myself remotely. Couldnt be happier...well maybe if I could afford a Transporter!!
FLAC and Squeezebox is a fabulous "audiophile-grade" combination. -- BigBirdy SB3 (2), Yamaha DSP-A1, Denon 5900 DVD, Musical Fidelity Trivista DAC-21, Rega Planet, Adcom GFA-555, Panamax 1500, Klipsch KLF-30 Mains, Klipsch KLF-C7 Center, Klipsch KSP-S6 Surrounds, Sound Dynamics-THS15, AudioQuest, Kimbercable.
