I'm listening to music piped as lossless or AIFF files from my ReadyNas NV+ server - it's got 4x320GB storage capacity, and I have put lots of music on it.
The music is piped wirelessly, at 16bit/44.1kHz resolution to an Airport Express that then sends it to my DAC via optical TosLink.
The music is then sent on to my amplifier and speakers. I'm not going to fall victim to psychoacoustics here, but I can find no fault whatsoever in what I'm hearing, compared to taking it off a CD through my transport.
To the extent that I can perceive a difference, once such music is generally available, I'll be able to store files at even higher resolution than Redbook - and conveniently access them from computers and playback devices through the house.
I'm picking music tracks with my mobile phone (salling.com -- salling clicker) or with my laptop or fixed computer, and have it available throughout the house's various smaller sound systems.
Ideal. Particularly because my CDs get a rest from possible wear and scratching.
