I agree with Mr. Meridian about these polls but I think George did not set out to make "THE" scientifically perfect poll- just more of a curiosity.

I would submit that the people here are a pretty good indicator when it comes to servers vs. straight CD play because we here are more likely to make the effort to get the best sound quality- so when this group here is going to the convenience model- there is something to take note of. Of course, its because the servers produce great results sonically as well.

The bottom line is for me if DVDAs were easily ripped to a server then I would listen to them this way as well. I take a very literal read to the thread/ poll title. In so far as spinning CDs at home, the answer is its so rare that I feel comfortable in saying it never happens. DVDAs are spun to get their sonic benefits- but they occupy probably 25% at most of my listening.

Now its time to cast off the shackles of DRM!
