I know I am opening a can of worms here and I think I know what most peoples views on this are but if people can be polite that would be nice...

Has anyone compared the audio quality of different ripping devices within Sooloos? On another forum I inhabit some very respected voices have stated as much as a 15-20% difference in the audio quality of rips from bog standard ROM drives up to carefully handled NaimUnitiserve with better power supply and vibration isolation. All bit identicle...

At some point in the future I would like to jump on the Sooloos train and was wondering what is the best way to get really good rips into it. Is the C15 sufficient? Is it better to rip to PC and transfer? Or perhaps even invest in a RipNas or Unitiserve just for the ripping capabilites?

Any experience out there?
