rip them at the highest level you can...The difference is not subtle. The external DAC is a must. You will be stunned when you hear the computer hard drive sounding better than a CD player. This is done by elves using pulleys.
It is such a joy to put the SB on Song Mix and just let it do it's thing. My guests have been stunned by the music mix that plays and plays and plays and all without any jumping up to change the music. For some reason letting go of the thoughts of what to play next and leaving it up to whatever logic algorithm the elves inside it use makes the listening experience way more pleasurable. That alone is reason enough to have a SB. All the other features build upon that.
You may want to audition a Cambridge DacMagic. For 400 bucks you get a damn good DAC with not only 2 digital inputs but a USB input as well. Also 3 filter algorithms are included. Life is sweet....
