I've tried a number of quality settings and couldn't really hear any 
difference at quality 6 and up, but I just figured that disk space was 
cheap and I didn't want to limit quality.  I play all my Oggs through a 
Terratec 6fire 24/96 using a coax digital cable into a yamaha 3090 amp. 
  I have been trying quite hard to hear differences between high quality 
Ogg and the CD with digital interconnect to the amp, or the virgin wav 
file on the computer and I really can't.

I'm happy and I must have too much free time on my hands ;)
