Hi Folks. Well I've just joined the exciting world of SB3 after a friend lent me a spare one which he'd bought for his bedroom. As I told him through gritted teeth "The only way you're getting this back is by prising it from my cold dead hand...."
Anyway, I'd read all that people have said about format, quality, easy of use, not shackling yourself to an 'Apple only' file format (have an MP3 player in my car) and had opted for using Easy CD-DA to rip everything to FLAC. Out of curiosity, I decided to try comparing an untouched WAV file ripped using iTunes (ripped very fast, about x30) with the same track as a FLAC file produced by Easy CD-DA. I have to say that despite being a hardened hifi nut of many years , I couldn't reliably separate the WAV, FLAC and original CD through a £3k CD player. As a result I've decided to save my sanity and do the lot as uncompressed WAV files and invest a bit of money in some HD space. Has anyone else done this comparison? -- hifisteve ------------------------------------------------------------------------ hifisteve's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4227 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21545 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
