Portable hard drive player as home stereo jukebox?

Dec 26, 2004 11:35PM PST

I'm looking to get all of my cds onto a portable hard drive player (iRiver H3* series or similar) to be connected to my home stereo. Digital optical connected if possible. The unit would be used almost exclusively for this purpose with some infrequent portability needed.

Anyone else doing this?

Is there a noticeble quality loss? MP3, WMA, ACC..I'm confused.

Any players with optical?
