So you have backed up all of your CD's to high quality MP3's, OGG or even FLAC, but now how do you play those on your home stereo without pulling your CD's out of storage, or cutting new ones?

"Quality of the playback is going to be dependent on two things, quality of the recording and connection to your Home Entertainment System. I used a FLAC backup of my CD "Bad Company - Desolation Angels" then connected the Sirocco into my Akai receiver using the analog jack for R/L (Incidentally, Sondigo use a FLAC based codec for the Sirocco). I then connected the Sirocco to the Akai using Toslink, I honestly could not differentiate between the two (which is actually a good thing as older CD music is recorded 2 channel)."
