Hi All,
Well, I took the plunge (helped by the great feedback from this forum).

When I first ripped my CDs to lossless after getting my original Duet, I
did it to WMA. Later I moved to ripping to FLAC, and now about 3/4 of
the files are in the latter format (along with a few lossy MP3s). The
system plays seamlessly across the various formats, and I never have
cause to think

Hi Apesbrain,
Thanks for the information. If I could just use my WMA Lossless files
that would be easie

Hi All,
Just a quick update to let you know how my home audio system is
progressing. I just added a more robust set of speakers (3 pairs
actually) to my home system. After much thought, investigation, and a
bit of cost compromise, I chose to go with 3 pairs of JBL LSR305 Powered
Studio Monitors

Hi All,
Thanks so much for great suggestions. I really appreciate them. I have
been doing as much listening as I can here in Spokane, WA but really I'm
limited to a "Huppins HiFi" store, which also runs OneCall.com and a
"Guitar Center" store. Huppins is the only audiophile store in town but

And there are still a few pairs of rosewood AVI DM5 left (might be more
made in the future, might not ...).

On the cheaper active side, I can recommend the Yamaha HS5.

moreover the KEF X300A seem to have a good built-in DAC, so why pay for
something you are not using? it seems to be a patch between components
you accidentally own, rather than a system you purposedly design.

You really should hear them even if only instore. The problem is that
people can write a lot of rubbish on the net and in mags, only you know
whether you'll like them :) That said if you're in the UK you can return
them within 14 days

Hi Everyone,
Thanks for the great comments. I really appreciate the input. I think I
will probably go ahead with the speaker purchases because I didn't hear
anything that was a showstopper. I know the 1/8 inch jack on the
Squeezebox Radio isn't delivering the same pure signal as a preamp out
but
You dont have to limit yourself to actives with 3,5mm sockets , there
are cables with 3,5 mm to RCA .
It works both ways if you have speakers with 3,5mm sockets a player wth
rca out can be used with such a cable

Hi Scott,
Just read the KEF speaker blurb and it seems there are two input
options, 3.5mm analogue (that's the radio taken care of), USB-limited to
24/96.
So, assuming you like the sound of the Speakers (is it possible to try a
pair at home first?) you should be good to go with the Radio/s.

Is there any reason you want the KEFs? You'd be better getting a set of
actives that don't have the USB DAC functionality if you're not going to
use it?
I was looking at them but I want to plug them into a PC :)

Even if Radio is not as good source component as the Touch .
The biggest difference will still be the speakers . If you can hear the
difference between the speakers , you can hear it with a Radio too . In
general the difference between speakers are much bigger than between
digital players .
