    When I bought the 340's, I was thinking more movies than music. Now it's at least 90% music.
    Last night I added a 2nd hand California Audio Labs DAC to the mix. After I've had several days to listen and then compare, I'll write my impressions. My initial impression is it makes a world of difference with Internet Radio but I'm uncertain as to the effect with CD's. This should be fun.

    Cool-news on the DAC! One of my distant upgrades (like next year distant) might be a Benchmark DAC. I'll be interested in reading your experiences with your California unit! I use my setup mostly for music too (~75%).

    Curtis, don't you have a music server? When we get into the new house, I gotta look into this. I'm thinking of upgrading the computer with a bigger hard drive and ripping with EAC and encoding with LAME for mp3's and FLAC for everything I want to keep lossless. Those Soundbridge units look cool. And, they're cheap.

    Yes I do.

    I use an Apple Airport Express that is digitally connected to my pre/pro.

    Friday night I picked a whole bunch of songs and made a playlist, and when I am at home doing stuff, I play the list. Sounds great.

    If I am just going to sit down and listen to the system, I usually load CDs, SACDs, or DVD-A's into the Denon 2900.

    The one thing that I would like that the Airport Express does not have is a display, but it is much less expensive than the Roku Soundbridge products. A remote control would be nice as well.

    I currently have 169 discs ripped....a little over 2000 songs.

    If it is bigger than my Ipod Mini, you might not get it back.

    (oh..I got a "Thrills" disc today)
