Thanks again DTC, Sorry for late acknowledgement.
I fully agree with you on using a older computer for the music and later "upgrade" if the opportunities come along.
As for the Sony HAP, I believe there is a software and some configurations
to be done for it to run. I would rather no go in that direction when any equipment needs me to constantly renew software or reconfigure software for it to play my music. I am thinking of upgrading the sacd player and amplifier later to get better sound quality, but not one with software installing or twigging just to get it to work. Read about the latest Marantz Reference 10 series and can only dream :-( ;-(
I purchase a new 500Gb hard drive and copied all my WAV titles into it and spent a whole day going through the web to locate the correct tagging for these titles. That's the biggest problem I see in WAV, apart from this re-tagging, it's a good and free software which sounded so good. I know FLAC could save me 40% to 50% storage space, but I will have to install another another software just to get it. I wished there is another easier way, but then :-) :-), we'll see.
