I think it is considered a high quality ripper, but it does NOT have accuraterip capabilities. EAC and dbpa both do. I personally use dbpoweramp, although I do have a vortexbox appliance. Regarding your second question, not sure, but I suspect a second TOUCH is probably just as cheap as a high quality soundcard. And plus it is nice to have your Vortexbox Server sitting in an entirely different place than your listening room. -- garym ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83244 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
