Thanks for all the good advice. I'm using an external drive and dbpoweramp to rip flac files to my pc and then move the files to an external hard drive. The comments in these posts make me feel that I'm not missing any information from my ripped cds.
Let me take this into real dangerous territory. Do the wires connecting the cd drive to the computer or the computer to the external hard drive or from the hard drive to the DAC make a difference? I know the question of whether wires make a difference at all is a point of contention, but I believe that interconnects, power cabes, etc. make a difference. What about those involved in the ripping process?
