I am currently ripping all my CD's to the .flac format, this is a lossless format so the sound should be the same if the rest of the equipment is the same.

I was after a new CD, now going to spend the money on a new amp (Not actually parting with my Quad 33/405 combo) just want something with a remote so I am probably going for a Cyrus One.

Not saying I won't buy a new CD player in the future, but certainly not for now, and there is nothing to stop you reading the booklet from the CD whilst you listen to your ripped files.
