No considerations bar bitrate I'm afraid. I just went to SHOUTcast - Jazz - Bitrate and chose the stations at the top of the list. They'll do for now as background music when I'm using my...

Therein lies the problem. I like '67 to '77 pop and rock. I don't listen to the radio. I'm getting into jazz. Next I'll be getting rid of my stereo and getting one massive speaker. You know the type...

I duly installed the Nyquist de-emphasis plug-in for Audacity, but so far EAC hasn't identified a CD as having pre-emphasis.

I can't bring myself to allocate over a gigabyte of storage space to a single-CD album. 24-bit 96kHz albums seem to average just under a gigabyte which suits me fine. This aspect, and the fact I was...

Thanks for taking the time to reply to my post.

We're not going to get around the DAC or player oversampling-upsampling-oversampling so I take it I shouldn't get too bogged down with all this. Let's face it, compared to my LPs and cassettes of the...

Thank you for the link Don.
I've already converted the few 24-bit 192kHz albums I had to 24-bit 96kHz using Audacity 2.0.5.
I'm guessing, when converting from 192kHz to 96kHz, the same issues could...

You're right, we don't need a 96kHz sampling rate for audio replay. However, a high sampling rate isn't utilised to extend audible high frequencies.

Agreed. In a hi-fi system, a network audio player is a far neater solution being a single-purpose hi-fi component, as opposed to a computer which is really a multi-purpose device.
