I agree FLAC is what you want, but MP3's are the least of his problems. Most people can't hear the difference between 192kps and lossless. I agree about your point of being brave to post having hooked it up to a mid 90's sony receiver and then complain about it. It should be hooked up DIGITALLY (TOSLINK or RCA). And then go into settings and Lock Volume at MAX. Then use the reciver to control volume. If you can't hook it up digitally then get a new receiver. AFTER you do that then look into ripping to FLAC instead of MP3. -- mswlogo Thinkpad XP SS > Cat5 > Transporter > SPDIF-COAX > Meridian G68ADV (Trifield, Room corrected, Upsampled) > DSP6000 Mains, DSP5500HC Center, DSP33 Rears ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mswlogo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9090 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51867 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
