Pardon Ralph, but I cannot believe in your ethernet tweaks, the digital
signal that gets transmitted via ethernet is at SECTOR LEVEL, 1's and
0's by sectors (data blocks), nothing more and nothing else. Its not an
analogue signal yet nor a single digital stream, therefore the only

If you've got a PC (or whatever) in the room you can stream the digital
data via the SB into your hi-fi from the CD or DVD Rom drive used for
ripping...(I'm trying to get this working at the moment).
This is OK for occasional use (friend comes round with CD).
It is also a zero-cost option,
Good article in Feb Hi-Fi News by Barry Willis and Dr. Doug Mahar on

Their observations and conclusions on the stereo illusion and

very interesting...although annoyingly they sort of chicken-out in the

There is one possibility (which should be measurable) - RF/EMI could
leak from the ethernet cables into the Hi-Fi...but it's very low
level...

From what I've read about the new HD versions of DTS, they also use an
original lossy DTS core and add a second layer to it to make it
lossless.
Assuming I've understood that correctly, then nothing new in this
HD-AAC idea then.

I guess technically speaking, this is how FLAC (and all other lossless

Actually, I found the article again:

and theyare definitely using a backwards compatible DTS core plus
extensions - although for DTS-HD the producers can opt to ignore
backwards compatibility and dump the DTS core.

AccurateRip can be a little tricky to setup under EAC.
It's easier to install Dbpoweramp (get it all setup there) then go back
to EAC and it will work.
You have to calibrate your drive before it will allow accurate rip.
It's definitely worth setting up.
