100% of my music collection is on two hard drives that are connected to my computer which is dedicated as my home theater system. My computer is connected to my AV receiver via a HDMI cable. The receiver drives a Stereo to 7.1 full range speaker systems. I am using AIMP software package to "play" and manage the files. I would say that 90% of my music files are either in 320 kbps or FLAC or some other lossless format. My question is, is this the best setup for listening to computer audio? How can I improve the sound quality of my system? Would using a dedicated DAC help? Are there any other software applications that can be recommended for file playback and management? I can use a dedicated computer, four core and 8 gig of RAM, for music files, would that improve the sound quality?
Thanks in advance
