Before I always use NMT as my music source as most of my files are flac and lossless wavs. Then I shifted to PS3 since I can use 24/96 output but it cant play flac. Now its laptop-hdmi-avr. VLC-HDMI-Marantz(pure direct, 24/96) in particular. Can there still be improvement here without adding high cost, like avoiding the "noisy" HDMI?
