I Own A Turntable, Therefore I Am Better Than You

[E-Stat]

The amount of processing power to playback a direct DXD file is huge, hence why there are not that many sources that can do so.

Of that I am sure. Even my pretty ordinary Dell server has equivalent dhrystone and whetstone benchmark performance as the Cray 2 Supercomputer - which was the fastest computer in the 80s. Today's high speed DXD mastering workstations are far more powerful.

Never used AIFF, but I love FLAC... I also have some FLAC downloads from 2-L, and the audio quality is fantastic. .

Thanks for your assessment.
