I read the claim that few could hear the difference with the ACC and source, but within 40 seconds comparing them on my Digidesign MBox > Tannoy PBM5 monitors the difference was obvious. I should note I'm 45 and I'm betting that for folks half my age it's night and day for anyone with a serious interest in music and decent speakers. I sit ripping to lossless now, listening on B&W 800s. These are great speakers and they're going in a big new room addition. It's looking like Lossless costs 33c per CD (x2 for backup) at current firewire drive prices... Anyone suggest a DAC? Yes there are high end folks who worry about artifacts like transport jitter who would pupu the idea of iTunes into even a high end DAC, say via SPDIF. I'd be curious as to what folks are using. The MBox on its own sounds pretty bad in a/b tests to my old Sony 707ESD CD player.
