No you can carry on - FLAC is fine as a storage medium - the best choice. Much depends on the following: 1) are you planning on using TinySC or a seperate server capable of transcoding FLAC to WAV? if so, there is no issue 2) are you going to use an external DAC? if so, there is no issue -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
