Hi- Res download newbie


I've just entered the world of hi-res downloads and would appreciate some advice. I've been utilizing a program called "traders little helper" to convert from a flac file to a wave.(my ps audio pw won't play flac), and a program called IMG burn to write the file to disk. Are these the best programs for the task or are there better options out there. Any advice for this newbie would be greatly appreciated.

You didn't say whether you have a PW Transport, PW DAC or both. If you have both, I highly recommend getting the Bridge for the DAC and playing your FLAC files directly (the Transport isn't used). This setup has the advantage of not being sensitive to cable quality- a regular Cat 5 or Cat 6 ethernet cable works fine.

I'm using eLyric with my iPad as a controller and it couldn't be easier. The iPad is great in this application, but I think an iPhone might be a little small- at least to read the liner notes. I guess the earlier versions of eLyric were buggy, but I started with the latest release and have had good results so far.
