RE: Thank you Jeff! I wonder if they are available in 240V/50Hz form or if they all use a wall-wart PSU?

Hi, quick reply, I will try to look at the other stuff later. I think you are more technically knowledgeable than me.

I don't think the Benchmark or Ayre run on separate power supplies.
The LineStreamer+ runs off the USB from your PC. So that would work.

The more I listen to various file sizes, and read, I think 24/96 is ideal. The brickwall filters are high enough to do no damage.
To be honest, I think CDs that are well recorded can sound excellent with good digital gear.
I got a PS Audio PerfectWave Memory Player and I am using a Lindemann 825 as a dac, digital has never sounded better. Even my Benchmark Dac2 did a very good job of playing all types of files. DSD, 16/44 through to 24/192. It usually is the source material that matters. I have vinyl transferred at 24/96 that sounds great. I ripped a XRCD of Wasserman's Duets that is superb. The CD layer on SACDs sound better on my current digital gear, than the SACD played back on my Oppo 83se.

If your goal is to digitize for the car, the LineStreamer+ will be all you need.
