DAC doesn't recognize hi-res files

Music server for a newbie

Computer for music only?
Lewinskih01I in no way was making any attack on you. In all my reading and experience I simply had never heard of such a thing. Certainly many discuss minimizing CPU load and noises but unless you are listening and ripping at the same time I canno... 
Computer for music only?
"Using the same computer for ripping and playback is not ideal. You can rip at any other computer, copy the files into a flash drive, and copy them into the audio computer."I have not read or seen this comment anywhere else. What is the basis for ...
