I am loving my Audiotron - but for me the biggest compromise in high fidelity comes pre Audiotron - my CD's getting compressed to MP3's. If you plan on keeping your CD stored in a WAV format 400 CD's would take you over 240 Gig of HD storage - more than my budget allows. So I have everything ripped to MP3's and whenever I am in the mood for 'serious' listening I just go get the CD and listen to that directly. Although lately I have found myself listening to Net radio streams more than my CD's.
