Hi,
and thank all for your reply, i read with care.

I have this usb audio
card :=C2=A0https://www.thomann.de/fr/presonus_audiobox_usb_96.htm?ref=3Dse=
arch_prv_3

It's the good card ?
In my home i have an kenwood audio amplifier with good speaker.

I will encode my CD under FLAC audio codec, it's the good way ?
Where good configuration for FLAC=C2=A0encode ?

Take care,
aiki.
