UnitiServe surprise with XLD

I throughly enjoy my UnitiServe in my Naim systems.  I do, however, have a wired whole house system for casual and entertaining listening.  This is served by iTunes via an AirPort Express.  I would rip CD's twice if I wanted them on my iTunes account, once in the UnitiServe as WAV and then into iTunes as AIFF via XLD.  I am still surprised at how fast the UnitiServe rips compared to my iMac.  As an experiment I tried using XLD to transcode a Naim WAV rip stored in the MQ folder on the UnitiServe NAS.  I have XLD set to generate AIFF output and add to iTunes library.  Guess what; it works.  There is still some information in the WAV files that lets XLD use Freedb or MusicBrainz to recognize the files and add all the metadata.  Thus I rip all my CD's with the UnitiServe.  If I want a CD in iTunes I just use XLD to transcode the Naim WAV file into AIFF, which it does very quickly.  It does generate an extra copy of the music files since you have to select an output directory during the transcode process.  I throw these away.  This should be helpful to those have had concerns about long term accessibility of Naim WAV rips.  I do think that the WAV files sound better on my NDS and UnitiServe into my DAC V-1.
