800 bucks for a Masterlink in the US equates to about 400 UK pounds - which in my book is a BARGAIN - I paid 699 UK pounds for mine a couple of years ago. If I could get one over here for that money I'd buy another in a heartbeat.
It's not about ME 'hooking the PC up to the stereo' and playing the 24-bits here, as I can just plug the Masterlink into the stereo and play them on that - it's about how to get them to other people who are asking for them; I can make 16-bit, 44.1kHz torrents easily, but Audacity doesn't want to co-operate with making 24-bit flacs, and ideally I'd like to shortcut the process and get the AIFFs direct to the people who ask for them.
At the end of the day, I could burn the CD24s and mail them out, but if I can do it more efficiently by torrenting them................

if that piece of equipment works for you - thats great.
After reading all these posts, I'm not sure why/how you feel getting AIFF files out of this masterlink system is so difficult.
AIFF file format has been around forever..its not proprietary.. its a common standard.
your system burns AIFF to small capacity CD's
burn out all the data from the masterlink internal hard drive (i read its a 4GB hard drive).
now you have several 96/24 DATA audio discs (in AIFF format)
put the DATA discs in your computer & transfer.
use Foobar2000 to convert/compress to FLAC > seed out your torrent.
is this not clear ?

"Is this not clear?" you said.
Don't be so condescending. This isn't The Lounge.
I didn't say 'getting the AIFFs out of the Masterlink' is 'difficult'. I can manage them onto the PC as AIFF files without any hassle at all. I asked about the possibility of including them as a valid file type in Audio torrents, so that those who asked for them could get them. You said you'd read all the posts.....?

Yup. Managed this fine the last time I did it.
"use Foobar2000 to convert/compress to FLAC > seed out your torrent."
This is the only stage that I haven't tried yet; last time, I used Audacity, as folks here had suggested it would happily cope with, and output, 24-bit/96kHz, but despite many attempts, all it would output was 16-bit/44.1kHz.
I don't have a learning difficulty, you know..... just because I haven't used foobar2000 YET, doesn't mean I have problems in understanding it or using it.
