I think they back me up that dbpoweramp is the best but like I have said again and again that EAC is a fine program and the way to go if you don't want to spend the money.

They own the accurate rip system and I feel dbpoweramp is by far the better of the two. Eac is very good though and if you don't want to pay for dbpoweramp then EAC is the way to go.

The article says Sonos and Slim Devices both use very good analog-to-digital converters in their products, which means you can connect their analog outputs to a high-quality self-amplified speaker system and get great results. Surely they mean digital-to-analog convertors?? -- cbemoore cbemoore's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=163 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54294 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
