The future for a current Squeezebox user
Hi Mark,I've had the CAL Alpha/Delta combination (actually, I think I still have them in a box somewhere).  That's a classic transport/DAC combination that is still well-regarded.What you'll need is a way of getting the data from the FLAC files to... 
The future for a current Squeezebox user
As a follow-up to resurrect my thread from several years ago, I just recently built a Roon endpoint using an Intel NUC8i3BEK kit, added 8GB of memory and a small M.2 SSD to it, and installed Roon's ROCK system.Very straightforward for around $300 ... 
Innuos owners: Possible to rip audio from blu-ray?
I'm unfamiliar with the Innuous system, so I will answer in the generic sense.The short answer is yes, this is possible.  But you might need to combine a couple different tools to pull this off.First, you need to extract the data from the Blu-Ray ... 
Reliable Digital Music Storage
Timothy,It's good that you've been thinking about your data as something that is valuable to you and needs to be properly backed up.  Most people, unfortunately, don't have that foresight.I can also appreciate that you have this information mirror... 
Who are your favorite A'gon posters?
For technical content, I've always enjoyed Atmasphere and Audiokinesis.I'm dating myself here since it's been about 15 years or so since he's posted, but I loved Cornfedboy.  His posts were serious and hilarious at the same time.  I miss his prese... 
ripping CD collection; need help w bootlegs (metadata)
Rhyno, it looks like you're on the right track.To answer your question about file formats, I'd strongly recommend FLAC.  It's the best combination of file size, tagging ability, and device support.  And if you ever wanted to, you could convert FLA...

She doesn't exactly, uh... bat for my team, but if she did it would definitely be Queen Latifah. 
Budget/value SS power amp recommendation
kbuzz, with 15 ohm speakers I might rethink your request for a solid state amp.  I'm making some generalizations here, but this could be a speaker that would work better with a tube amp.  I didn't look up the impedance profile of the speakers you'... 
Budget/value SS power amp recommendation
You list some nice choices.Parasound, NAD, and Rotel are also pretty solid options in that price range.Other options include Marsh, and old Onkyo or Yamaha, Conrad Johnson's Sonographe series, Outlaw Audio, Monarchy, or maybe an old Forte.What spe... 
Full-sounding SS amps (besides Pass)
I'm sure you're going to get many ideas here, but I once listened to a Plinius SA-100 that sounded exactly as you're describing.Another option might include the McCormack DNA series.Michael 
Chester Bennington passes...
Roxy, I agree.  I've enjoyed Linkin Park since Hybrid Theory.  It's one of my "guilty pleasure" bands to play, as well as being very well represented on my gym playlist.It's sad to see this happen to yet another young musician.Michael 
Amps from the 1980's -- What gear holds up sonically? Reliably?
Erik,You're not the only one who's going to get murdered in your sleep, as I have yet to find a McIntosh component that I liked the sound of.  And I find them hideously ugly.  My intro into audio was as a young college student in the early 90's.  ... 
Brightest but shortest artistic bursts in the sky
My vote goes for Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, a prodigy composer who died at the age of 35.Who knows what other masterpieces he might have composed had he lived longer.Michael
