[SurroundSound] Re: Can you stream DVD-A Audio Object Files with a DLNA server?

I just re-read your post, and now I see the advantage to iso attached
playback on the Oppo - menu control/video playback, etc. This makes me
wonder: what are the specific differences/limitations of ripped flacs
vs. the original DVD-A besides not having menu control and access to
videos?

And can you rip flacs from both the hi-res/lossless AOB's as well as
the VOB's? (of course the AOB's are what you want.)

Thanks!
