Thanks Scott - I used the Monkey's Audio (.ape) format. Matt from J River is the author of the .ape format and therefore it is tightly integrated into Media Center and works well. I would like more 3rd party support, but it's not a big issue to me - I'll just have MC transcode to a lossy format...

I'm resurrecting my old thread just so say thanks to StephenL. I've just finished ripping all 800+ of my CDs into J River Media Center via secure mode (it took me 9 months - I have two little ones at home!) and I have bit-perfect playback (verified with DTS encoded WAV files) via the Chaintech...

StephenL - I have become quite taken by J River and am planning my HTPC build at this point. Thanks for the info on the Chaintech card. In your first post you gave the settings for ASIO4ALL and J River (back when reflashing was required). Now with the new Envy drivers do any of the settings...

Angelo - Thanks for your 2 cents - I hear what you're saying and wonder sometimes if I would ever hear the difference myself. My Anthem AVM20 seems to do an almost transparent A/D - time/bass management - D/A on my current analog sources (I always use my sub, even with 2-channel). If I'm going...

Interesting stuff on cases, if a bit esoteric! I don't think I'll have much of a noise issue - the HTPC will be just a MOBO, Nvidea card, M-audio card, and single drive. The 500GB+ of storage is upstairs on my office computer and I have a 10/100MB Linksys routher between them. The HTPC shouldn't...

I am looking to create an audio-focused HTPC. I plan to rip my 800+ CDs to uncompressed .wav (or maybe FLAC) and play them back via a digital audio link to my pre/pro. Here are the lessons I've learned so far: Encode: Use EAC to get exact rips of the CDs. Must use a script where the .mp3...

Chung - Great! Thanks! Makes perfect sense. Allows someone to have full-blown HT and still have "audiophile" 2-channel sound via the same amp and main speakers. That's the idea, right? One more question if you don't mind - what is the purpose of the external processor loop outputs? The...

I have an Adcom GTP-450 stereo-only preamp with an "External Processor Loop" L/R in/out. It is not discussed in the manual. I assume it is a signal-level loop for adding an EQ or something similar? Is it a constant level signal or is it controlled by the volume setting? If it is inline...
