Great points - I am planning to use dbpoweramp - so thanks for that suggestion.

Thanks - some great points. I have used two drives in the past and process was good - maybe I will just try three and see how the process goes. Definitely understand this will be a project - just trying to make it as effective and efficient as possible! RAID setup of some sort is definitely in...

Hello all - I have a collection of about 3500 CD's I am looking to rip to FLAC - I am considering building a PC with 4+ drives to help. Any suggestions on components that could keep the cost down and still perform well? Thanks for any and all help.

In regards to the PC Mag review - did you read it? If what you are looking for is a camera, wifi, etc, then I would agree with the review.....but I assume you are more concerned with sound quality, etc. If so, then the review from PC Mag agreed the unit sounded great, but thought for the price...

Thank you all so much for the suggestions. Not knocking head-fi's knowledge base at all, just looking for some other options. Thanks again.

Been trying to find some good classical or jazz forums around. Any recommendations?

This sounds very interesting. Thanks for the tip. Is it a weekly show?

jamato - how would you compare it to the amps in your sig? Where would it rank in your opinion of those?

Alright, so I am very tempted to by the standard version Lisa III - is it worth the dough? Does it sound good with iem's or with cans like Senn 650's or Grado GS1000's? Thanks!

How would you guy rate these against similarly priced IEM's that are not custom - like the Shure's and Westone UM3's?
