Thanks PAR that has alerted me to several possibilities. Nearly all my files are FLAC 24/96 stereo, downloaded from Presto Classical. They are stored on a Western Digital WD2500XMS-00 250GB USB powered 2.5" hard drive. This is connected via a standard USB 1 metre lead (i.e. nothing special) to the Oppo. There are no input conditioners of any sort since I reasoned that the Oppo must buffer and re-clock the input.

The master copy of this music library is stored on the main PC and of course backed up locally and to the cloud. The WD HDD is merely a convenient device for connection to the Oppo.

My excuse for this uninspiring source is that I have really only arrived recently at a significant collection of downloads, must be 100+ by now. These have never been treated with the seriousness of my LP and SACD/CD replay.
