16/44.1 @-8 works fine. 48 and above should use -5 (it's easy to reflac any files you might have that fit this category). There's very little difference in disk space anyway - I switched to -5 2 years ago -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
