That's a good deal! Is it 192K and how would I play in my music room preferably without a computer?
Thanks

CD's are not 24/192 though?

It would seem that they go up to 24-bit 48kHz.
If you don't want a computer in the music room then your best bet is probably a Transporter (possibly with an external DAC but it sounds very good in its own right).

Just re-read the article, and there is nothing specific to say that the FLAC files are going to be any more than 16/44.1 - I'd be surprised to see anything larger myself.
If they decide to post 24/96 files then it is still possible to decompress the file, but you'd need burning software capable of writing audio DVD discs, or if you have a DVD-Audio player something like Minnetonka Discwelder to burn proper DVD-A discs.
Or you could use a Squeezebox to deliver the music.
The now on its' way Touch can access directly from USB HDD, or even a USB memory stick.
The Touch handles file types up to 24/96 as native.
You can use the Touch as a stand alone unit, although it can be integrated into a proper networked environment.
