DAP with a USB input?
Is there a DAP with a USB input (SSD or portable HD)? I did some searching but couldn't find one, so thought I would ask this group. When I travel for long periods of time I would prefer to bring a larger library of music with me.- R_burke

Both are in my price range and I can't decide. I own 7500+ CDs with some in almost all genres, my favorite styles right now are Americana, bluegrass, blues and indie folk, but I still listen to a lot of progressive rock and fusion jazz.

Perhaps i should know, but I don't
I'm thinking about getting a headphone amp, but want to be able to easily select between it and speakers. I have amp(s), preamp and CD Player in my set up now. Can I connect things such that I can switch between speakers and headphone without having to change cables?- R_burke

Is there a way to import entire albums as a whole, instead of as a set of individual songs? I use an iPod classic and in many cases would like to listen to the whole album/cd without breaks between songs and in the order in which it was released.- R_burke

Ayreon - good for the long haul
I just recently bought Ayreon's Into the Electric Castle and I really like it on phones, but was wondering if it is too "over the top" and pretentious to last. Any long time Ayreon fans who listen on a regular basis? Or is this stuff way cool at first and then easily put aside -
