Stop looking at the hole, stand back and look at the doughnut I'd guess only 10% of my personal listening music is FLAC quality. I listen to Pandora most of the time now. Also, thanks for the spell-check... I fixed it. -- Toy Maker (2) Squeezebox3's - (1) Transporter2 - 7TB Acer Home Server

That's the plan. Tom (the golden ear boy) says ge will be listening for cues like instrument placement to try to tell the 2 apart. If both sources are digital to a single DAC... all should be equal, no? -- Toy Maker (2) Squeezebox3's - (1) Transporter2 - 7TB Acer Home Server - iPad
