1) Does it play FLAC files gapelessly? Classical records are separated by tracks that don't suppose to have any interrupts...

My experience is that it works well, I had no problems. The reason I bought Dune was for my FLAC library and I enjoy it very much. Joel

I only play old vinyl records on mine. It works beautifully with a few added modern hook ups being the main difference between old player and new one.

hmmm thanks for all the points y'all. this will help a lot of people too. By the way. speaking of FLAC I'm now looking into it. (I'm on the Mac.)How do you get your FLAC files? Do you rip them from CDs? also... I assume that it makes no sense to buy mp3s (lets say on iTunes) and then convert to FLAC as the mp3 is of lesser quality. Therefore to have FLAC files you would have to buy all your music on CD am I correct?if I can only buy iTunes music then hopefully the 256kbps files they sell will do these cans justice.Please enlighten me because having higher quality audio will definitely help my HD595s deliver their best.

Mine cleans on Track 2, not 3. Maybe we are talking about different products. A CD player with no play button? How do you play anything?

I listened to podcasts and audiobooks. The Sansa units that I have bought have very little gap between tracks, much less than a second, I would say you would notice it only if looking for it.

I do believe that since FLAC is lossless, it doesn't matter what you use to rip it. I use Foobar2000. It takes a bit of finagling to get it set up, but just follow an online tutorial and you'll be up and ripping in ten minutes tops.

Sorry. It only plays cassettes not 8-tracks. I'm afraid in this day and age, you're going to have to do some searching to find an 8-track player.

Mine just quite playing. Stops in the middle of a song so it is not the CD switch. Very disappointed. Tried different CD's with the same result.

Yes, it plays records nicely. One side at a time, one record at a time. I have mine plugged in to an old pair of external stereo speakers and it sounds great.

I am not sure... I recorded 4 files, it came up in MIDI format - but when played in other media the accompaniment themes came like static noise. I was opening the files in various programs - the same noise instead of the melodies, even Yamaha itself plays it correctly.

One important clarification - it remembers the file you were on and starts playing it from the beginning, but if you were listening to, say, a lecture which is 1+ hours long, it won't remember where you stopped, so it will start it over from the beginning. You have NO way to fast forward (only skip), which is why I'll be returning mine.

I purchased this turntable and am having nothing but issues trying to get it to just play, I have Windows Vista, a brand new HP with the dual chips? Did you have similar issues? Were you able to get anything resolved? Thank you It plays for a short time then Pyro says Audio Stopped? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I have this system and am able to play 24-bit/192KHz flac files through the USB interface just fine (running on linux). I suppose it's possible the software or hardware is downgrading them first but I would have expected no sound at all if the unit really didn't support it.

Hi, Michael... I haven't played any records since I had this reciever until I read your e-mail. It took me a couple of minutes to coax my ancient turntable into playing, but it did play a record just fine... I turned the volume up to about 22 and it sounded great, and I don't have a pre-amp in my system. I hope it helps and if you buy this receiver, I think you'll be happy...we've enjoyed ours and have had no problems with it. We're not real serious audiophiles, but it does sound very nice on our CDs and radio use. Good luck...best regards... Doug in Niceville, FL

Sorry it took so long to answer. My daughter did not have that experience with her records. She only has a couple of records so far so she plays the same ones over and over and they still sound pretty decent.

Pretty sure that it does not. FLAC isn't listed in the manual as a supported format (which is too bad).

I am very interested in what you find out. I am looking at the 980H mainly as a cd/sacd/dvd-a player.I have read many reviews on it and none have mentioned that the first few seconds of cd are cut off, the only one being on this site.Very interesting.
