Gang,
First I love my ASUS Netbook. I have both the 1000HA and the really upidy ssd version S101H.
Both of these are ok, really ASUS did a great job with these I have more good things to say about these than I do Dell or any other full laptop.
But using these with lossless files is a bad thing....
two points
1) They are under powered to optimize them.
2) Switch from Lossless to flat PCM (WAV/AIFF).
If you used iTunes get one of the newer ASUS with Windows 7 and use WASAPI mode with iTunes to get much better results. You can set this in the options for QuickTime.
Thanks
Gordon
