Yes rip the same way, but don't add replay gain tags. 24/96 you are given a choice by the software, most dvd-a contains both 2ch and 5.1 versions on the disc. And mlp that DVD-A is encoded as, can have a function where a 5.1 stream have a " downmix" table for 2 ch only equipment. This is up to the disc author so there are many possibilities. FLAC and WAV can carry many channels of audio, but you can use only 2 with a squeezebox or any other spdif device For discrete digital lossles multichannel you need HDMI or propriotary protocolls like MHR (3-4 paralell spdif with encryption used by Meridian ) or one of thoose special firewire things denon or sony or whatever have tried out. But hdmi will bring it to the masses with blueray. -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC MleridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
