You can get 250GB disk drives for under $100, so a little money will eliminate any need to worry about compression rations. Just use FLAC and be happy. > using a modified ART DI/O DAC.

For example, I would not expect any big difference between a stock ART DI/O and the SB2, maybe the SB2 would be a little better. The key is to get a good solid system, get used to listening to it. And if you get a big bonus, think about what to upgrade. With the Maggies, you probably won't consider speakers the weak link for a while. I'd suggest room acoustic treatment as the next upgrade before an external DAC. -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
