Thanks, Dave. It's a big help to be able to have all that setup and operation info in a convenient, easily accessible format.

A few tips from the makers:

Overlooked Features

For cover art or other images, MC for Windows has a simple photo editor. Select any image, right click and choose "Edit image" to begin. You can crop, rotate, etc. Old faded color photos can be improved by using "Adjust". Out of focus pictures may benefit from "Sharpen". "Heal" lets you repair minor defects. When you save your work, MC won't overwrite your original unless you tell it to. It saves a "version" (changes only) so you can always return to an earlier version and start over. The best way to learn is to try it on an image you don't care about.

That brings up MC's ability to capture a screenshot. On the desktop, you can copy an image to the clipboard. Use your keyboard's Print Screen key to copy the whole desktop image to the clipboard. Or use Alt and Print Screen keys to copy the window in focus. In MC, open Camera in the lower left corner, and select Copy from Clipboard, then Acquire.

Did you also know:

JRiver's Downloader has been used by HDtracks customers for about a year. Now Acoustic Sounds also offers it. Both are leaders in the delivery of High Resolution audio. HDtracks is in MC's tree under Services.

I have jriver and a w4s dac2 running flac ripped from Jriver. I could never get it to sound quite as good as a redbook cd playing through the w4s dac2. I am going to try the things you listed in here.

I guess step 1, get rid of XP and put 7 on it!.

Thank you for making this thread!

Win7 = yes.
Also never use JRiver as a ripping app - it is no bueno in that regard (it is a database utility with superb playback capability)

Exact Audio Copy (when properly configured).

I had a 'play' with this some years ago. Decent results, but I have no idea if it was properly configured. It must have changed (improved?) a lot since then.

What is the way to do SACD again? I am not familiar with that one. All I remember is of a possible workaround with an old version of the PS3 which allowed one to rip the DSD portion of an SACD.

Is this still possible? Anyone know what is needed or how to source what ever is needed?
