Why not concider buying a new DAC that has USB inputs so you wont have to burn the FLAC to DVD ?
Just a thought.

Replace My Anthem CD1?
I'm considering replacing my Anthem CD1 (tubed output stage) with the new OPPO 95. I've had the Anthem modded (upgraded capcitors, resistors and tube) and I LOVE the convenience of this built-like-a-tank 6 disc changer. I'm considering the OPPO 95 because it can play ANY format including hi-res FLAC files which I can download and burn to a DVD disc. Because of Blu-Ray it can also double as my DVD Player for home theater and because of the connection options I can use it at will in either my 2 channel stereo or my 5.1 theater systems . The versatility is just what I'm looking for.
My big concern is build and sound quality vs. the Anthem. I know the 95 is considered OPPO's audiophile version with new DAC's, but I'm not sure how big an improvement (if any) I'll be getting sound wise. I would appreciate any comments from those of you "in the know"!
OBW: The rest of my 2 channel system consists of McCormack DNA 500 amp, CJ ET3-SE pre and Aerial 10t speakers.
