yea, thus everything in FLAC (no compression, right? or lossless, with minimal compression setting).
I'm also going to see if the SONOS DAC is better than the Onkyo. I currently run a digital fiber optic line from the Sonos to the Onkyo and let the AVR do the conversion (which supposedly has a decent DAC), but I've read the Sonos might be better at that? Who the hell knows.
I'll try the tilting idea- never thought of that. I do that for the center channel for obvious reasons.
(fighting upgrade-itis here!! the VP160 looks so nice)

M80v2, VP150v2, QS4v2, Onkyo 805, ADA1500-3, Sonos
