Mlsstl: can you help me with some further info on the Vortexbox. I looked at their website and did not see this info. For instance, if using the Vortexbox, is there a way of choosing/altering file format of ripped CDs, e.g., can one choose WAV, FLAC or any other format? Can one select a bit rate/word depth? Do you receive instructions on how to use the laptop/tablet to control the Vortexbox?

I am pretty new to this area of audio so my questions may be inane or ridiculous, and if so, I apologize. Regards, Rich

The best source of info is www.vortexbox.org. You'll find documentation, a wiki as well as a discussion forum there.

I just learned the hard way: I ripped about 500 cd's to WMA and then switched DAC's. My new DAC won't read them. Conversion is a pain in the ____ but Format Factory does a good job.
Burn them right the first time. WAV seems to be best.

Thanks Misstl. I will check it out. Regards, Rich
