Also have about 50 DVD-A to rip in 2 channel, this is one of the major benefits over the Sonus. I might be pushing the storage on the control 15 a bit, does any one have a rough rule of thumb as to how many CD's is equal to the storage of 1, 2 channel DVD-A.

I don't have a rule of thumb, but for example, (all FLAC'd -8)

"The Flaming Lips","Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots"
2 channel 16bit 44.1 kHz, 340 MB
2 channel 24bit 96 kHz, 1.09 GB
5.1 channel 24bit 96 kHz, 2.51 GB

so, in this case, about 3 CDs to one DVD-A. Of course, listening to Yoshimi in 2 channel is a bit like watching Avatar in 2D.
