John, thanks. Even though I don't listen to it tons, it is amount the first things I did when I set-up with receiver. It took me one listen through what they had programmed I couldn't stand it. No the receiver is not audiophile and the cheapest one I ever bought but I use the secondary basement system most often for watching football on TV during the weekends as the main room is too bright for daytime TV. I can't stand low-fi.
I bought the WD Media Player as it said it played WMA. I spent months (almost a year) recording stuff and then finally took it out of the box all excited to hear 4,200+ songs in lossless WMA and found out it has conversion software and it plays 128bps MP3s. I listened on my Bryston DAC to about 2 songs and gave the player to a friend and grabbed the Squeezebox Touch.
As I noted, I find the 320bps ones quite good. I'd actually rather have good quality internet radio vs. HD Radio. Just the amount of choices. I have a modded Sansui TU717 in the main system and I do rather enjoy what I can get via the Squeezebox Touch into the Bryston DAC.
