A 24-bit rip is important IF you are going to do any post-processing on the rip such as volume/fades/noise reduction. The software will work more effectively and introduce less artifacts. Once all that is done then for sure you can reduce the final file to 16/44.1 and it will sound fine. In fact, no-one can tell the difference if done PROPERLY. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
