Non-disc sources for high-quality audio

[waveman]

As extensively discussed in threads like this one, DVD-A program material really makes the Lexicon system shine. I've bought a couple myself, and it's hard to go back to my iPod, which contains tracks encoded at 128-256 kbps, after I've listened to a DVD. The difference in presence, frequency range, and separation is incredible. But the DVDs are also fairly expensive, and it's a pain to change them.

So my question to you audiophiles out there is "What other high quality sources are you using in your Genesis?"

Wow your post and mine were posted at the same time...I guess we must be thinking alike. Hopefully we will get a helpful response.

Have you tried sending your 5.1 surround disc's to a thumb/flash drive?
Large thumb/flash drives can hold tons of music as well as video.
You should also be able to get an answer from your local audio installers / geeksquad / and retailers etc.

I've got right at 52 CDs copied to on little flash drive/stick and its not full yet. As to the quality of the sound? Well, to my ears music is music as long as its something I want to listen to. Oh, its a 2 GB flash drive. I've seen them with up to 32 GB of capacity. That would be several hundred CDs.
