can JRMC play .aif files bit perfect, or should I go with wav? sorry if this question is very fundamental, I'm still learning.

I can't even start to thank you guys for the help. After reading over your suggestions, and doing some searching on the site, I think I have narrowed my options down. Itunes + Airport + M2tech Hiface or after reading Chris's article, going with JRMC. My question now is, will a M2tech Hiface be compatible with JRMC? Is there a gaint advantage to AIFF over WAV other then album art?

Thank you everyone for replying. I think it will help if I explain what point I am at in life. I am currently a college student (Music Ed Major). It was recent that I decided I wanted a better playback option for my music, little did I know before doing this research and finding this site, I purchased most of my music from Itunes. so to answer your questions 1. Being in college and money is tight, my spending limit is around $1000ish, I could eat some more mac and cheese and maybe push it to up a little. 2. I already have a Yamaha A/V receiver RX-V365, and a pair of pioneer Bookshelf speakers made under the RCA name. 3. This system will be set up in a typical college apartment. thanks for the help.

A quick novice question. If I download a file from itunes, then convert it to AIFF. Will that improve the audio quality, or is it the same quality with a bigger file size?

I am very glad I have found this site, this is a topic I have been looking to get into. As I look around I realize I have no idea what I'm talking about when it comes to audio. Can someone please help me by pointing me in a direction to start. I am using a Windows 7 build. Thank you for your time.
