I agree, Rich. I ripped most of my CDs to flac years ago, but they have been copied to Google Music.
Can I hear the difference between flac and 320k MP3? No.
Can I hear the difference between the analogue output on the Chromecast and the S/PDIF routed through my Beresford Caiman? No.
I can't get fussed. It ain't worth the candle.
(Well Marco, you did ask me to pitch in again!)
