I'm not sure that I really like J River.  If I go with the conversion route, is there a way to bulk convert all flacs without having to sort through all my folders?

  My bad, I neglected to mention that.  I have over 30k tracks and some music I have FLAC only.  I don't care what format it is on my phone but I would like to be able to sync those tracks as well.   From what I can tell, J River converts the FLAC files to ALAC (or some other format) on the...

Thanks, I'll try that.  A+ = Audirvana Plus?  The integration allows me to import flac into my library? And can I sync them on the fly?     Sorry about all the questions.  Still new to mac and trying to figure everything out.

Will Audirvana sync playlists with my iPhone? If not, what program would you recommend that could do this?  So far I've only come across J River Media Center and Media Monkey.

Maracas?  I think I can hear some in the intro though not very clearly.

I don't frequent here too much but the last 50 pages or so have really helped me out in deciding whether to purchase the K712 or not.  I'm thinking about this purchase as an upgrade, so I'll be selling my K702s to help buffer the cost.   The K712s came in today and I need to spend more time...

Thanks, if it's in the task bar, that's okay.  I would just worried I'd have to open up a program everytime I wanted to switch.   The D1 is in my budget and looks like a good option as well.  I will have to take a closer look into both but starting to lean towards the external dac.   Thanks...

Thanks, I will look into the STX.  Can the sound be active on both outputs for this card or is it possible to automatically disable one when I plug in headphones?  Just worried I'd be a hassle to switch outputs every time I want to use my headphones, but it's probably something I can deal with.

My motherboard's onboard soundcard has intermittent sound issues and rather than reformatting in an attempt to debug the issue, I'm interested in purchasing a standalone sound card.  Looking for a decent one for $100-125 to power my stereo speakers (don't need 5.1).     If there are any with...

Ikea TP holder. More of a storage solution than a display stand since it's hidden under my desk, but it's accessible and out of the way.  

I'm unable to either for some reason.  Says "There was a problem submitting this to the server. Please try again."   Edit: Guess it just took a bit of time, but it's working now!

Nokia Lumia 800.  Windows phone isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be, though the lack of app support is somewhat frustrating.  Will probably grab the next iPhone whenever that comes out.
