easola01, I would check first if you can hear any difference between formats. In addition, many high res files are just 16/44.1 up-sampled. They end-up with more bits and higher sample rate but don't carry more information. My DAC up-samples data anyway. I also have thousands of CDs that I keep on external hard drive in ALAC. I Wi-Fi them to Airport Express that feeds Benchmark DAC3, using ITunes. With this scheme I'm limited to 16/44.1 but don't have to worry about anything related to computer (speed, playback program, amount of memory, electrical noise etc) since my DAC always gets bit perfect 16/44.1 data.
Digital streaming/library
I have purchased a rather substantial 2 channel audio system, and two of the components are a streamer and an audio nas...a melco. I want to build a digital music library. I would love to have the hd level tracks, but the downloads are so expensive. I already have thousands of lps, and thousands of cds. I have iTunes, and it (and rhapsody) allow you to download tracks into your computer...but they are not cd quality. I have a streamer, and I could get the tidal or deezer hi res subscriptions, but do they allow you to download tracks into your computer/nas drive for a digital library?
