Unfortunately, this technique doesn't seem to be compatible with the lossless flac files (although the Oppo certainly can if you burn them to disk or have a thumb drive) but I *am* able to convert those to high bit rate mp3s, and the sound quality is completely acceptable, almost indistinguishable from the CDs themselves.

And about video quality, indeed it is top quality.

In order to enjoy such quality, I'm perfectly happy to get out of my listening chair in order to change the disc

Even though i am using the low end video processor, the unit still produces the best picture quality I've ever had in my home on both dvd & blu
