Hi Chris <br /> Thank you for your prompt response, so - yes I had missed the obvious sample rate differences. Oops!<br /> <br /> I forgot to ask - sorry - on your CA04 pc based music server you were quite happy with iTunes. On your latest PC server you have opted for Media Monkey. <br /> <br /> What made you switch? <br /> <br /> Would iTunes still work well with a Lynx AES16e on a PC ?<br /> <br /> Also - have you discounted ethernet connection as a way of avoiding the default sound card on PCs? Linn do some network connected media servers (they are 24/192 compatible and have optical outs so you can ignore the dac if it is inferior. I am not sure if they handle AIFF - their web seems to say they handle wav and flac).<br /> <br /> Thanks and regards<br /> Julian

Hi Chris<br /> First post for me. Thank you for the excellent knowledge base you are creating here!<br /> <br /> I wondered - why have you chosen a 16 channel sound card as your preferred PCI card, when there are 4 chanel cards from Lynx also?<br /> <br /> Have I missed something? I would have thought that the card only ever takes one stereo input - ie 2 channels? It seems odd to have all that additional hardware on the card, and it won't be free - the AES16 is quite expensive.<br /> <br /> Sorry if I am being stupid.<br /> Regards<br /> Julian
