FLAC Solution

What is the best FLAC solution for quality and reliability?

Ripping Software? EAC?
Playback Software? dBPowerAmp?
Hardware Interface? Sonos?
Software Interface? Sonos?

Trying to design a high quality solution. I want to stay away from UPnP if possible. I need it to be stable and reliable.

Thanks....

I second Poweramp. Good solution and has very good error correction and database for song/art

Yep, dbPoweramp & JRiver Media Center.

Poweramp is not only a good ripper, but it's great as a batch codec to codec converter.

I have 900+ CD all stored on a RAID. I use this as a server to feed my Duet. All the files are WAV lossless. If i use the dbPoweramp to convert to FLAC, will there be any difference? or do i need to re-rip?

EAC is free and dBPowerAmp is not. There is nothing (better) than EAC. That said, if dBPowerAmp is just (as) "good" as EAC and if it is faster, then that solution may be worth paying for. EAC is somewhat slow.
