I think that I've played a CD twice in the past year 2 years (since
starting this SB journey).

SACD and DVD-A accidentlally had better quality (potential) but they
were invented specifically because they had DRM. Even today, SACD is
essentially unrippable due to its silly DSD technique.

Exactly
The only one from the "holy trinity", Red Book, lived long enough
because of the simple fact of being first in bringing completely new
physical form of music. Not speaking of audio quality, it was quite
revolutionary. I think DVD-A
Which will come first? The end of Linn, or the end of the CD?

I've been getting a lot of music from an online music retailer called
MusicZeit. They specialize in electronic music by independent artists.
The only other way to get this music in the US is via international
retailers and paying import prices. Lately, that option has become
quite expensive (~$

I stopped using an audio CD player at least five years ago, when I got

collect new things - high resolution music files, like those from

Go to Shoutcast and use their search function and click on the
"broadband" button and you will see stations that are streaming at
reasonably high bitrates. Quite a few at 192kb or better but it all
depends on your taste in music :-)

The maximum cable length in the S/PDIF specification is 10 meters, or
about 39 feet.
Just as a test, I once ran S/PDIF output through the double-shielded
RG6 cable TV coaxial cables (temporarily disconnected from the CATV
system) from the Squeezebox in my living room to a DAC in my main

I didn't measure to the foot, but my run of coax has to be close to 25'

Im fairly new to the concept of running S/PDIF out of the SB to a DAC.
So far, Im really pleased with the results.
