Useless if all it does is play back FLAC rips of CDs. I could see some value in it, however, if it plays back 24bit/96khz Vinyl rips. CDs just don't come in 96khz.

@telepheedian: You think you're going to get better music quality from a 96khz rip of vinyl than from Redbook CD? Dream on.

@mrburglar: They exist, and people listen to them. I personally haven't ever tried it, my system's not nice enough. At the very least, this should rip DVD Audio, and play back files of 96khz magnitude (not just pass them through the DAC)

@telepheedian: Anything over 20k is generally a waste of time. Supposedly humans can hear up to 20,000k but it's more like 15-17k.

@Chris Hansen: It's true, but people still buy intense audiophile systems. My point is, there's a lot larger market for this thing if you can use the hardware on board to it's fullest potential, instead of just rip CDs.

@Chris Hansen: 96khz is the sampling rate, not the frequency response if that's what you're referring to...

@mrburglar: Do I think I'm going to get better music quality from a 96kHz/24bit rip of a vinyl than a redbook CD? Why on earth would you think otherwise? See, one is analog. Therefore when you digitize it at a higher resolution and sampling rate, you will get a digital representation that is truer to the originally recorded music. Not particularly hard to understand.
