Hi Thank you both for your posts!
I Use EAC to rip my CD's into wav files, (I use the action / test and copy selected tracks option in EAC). I then run through each track correcting glitches) Im sure theres an automated way to do this :) No dsp running in the background but some surfing of the internet, its a pretty tedious task ripping disks. When first using foobar I plugged my pc into the bel canto ...valve amp etc.. it seemed more musical somehow.. its a difficult thing to quantify without going into flowery language. listening was compelling compared to being a chore. I have reset my digital output to fixed volume! Thanks for that :) no bitrate limiting. My CD player was just a bog standard sony, Foobar trashed it showing it up to be bloomy with a great loss of detail. I may be mistaken (not very technically minded)but foobar does not use codecs but rather sends the pure signal to the output drivers? Should I invest in a better power supply?
