[QUOTE="rteach1, post: 1747998, member: 389202"] Hello everyone. This is my first post. I've had an iMac since 2013 (using Yosemite 10.10.5) and have a wireless network controlled by a router (also from 2013) outside the Apple family. I also own an iPod Touch that is 2 years old, an iPad Mini 2, and an iPhone 5s. The Audio/Video receiver is a Yamaha 467 (from 2011) with HDMI. The TV is a new Sony 930D model, the BluRay player is a new Sony as well (model 6500). The speakers are 30 years old, which prompts my question. I'm planning to treat myself to high end speakers (looking at floor standing models). How can I export songs from the iTunes library on the iMac to the home theater system? About 95% of the songs are from CDs that were imported into the Mac. The remaining 5% are songs purchased from the iTunes store. What I have been doing is connecting the iPod to the receiver with a cable, but that just has the compressed sound of any MP3 player. I'm hoping to get CD quality for the songs that originally came from CDs. I'd be grateful for your suggestions that would provide the best combination of sound quality and ease of use. I'm really quite a newbie when it comes to things like streaming, exporting, etc., so it would be worth it to me to spend a little more to get ease of use. Thank you very much. P.S.- When I import CDs into the Mac, I was recently told that I should use the "Apple Lossless Encoder" in iTunes. I used to use the"AAC Encoder." Any thoughts on which encoder should be used? Thank you. rteach1 [/QUOTE]
