I feel that FLACs do sound better than CD, in my case mainly because I never got a CD player >$250 ..ha ha ...
Besides the hard drive, there are no moving parts - no 'jitter' .. recordings are bit perfect, and seem to have no harshness..at least for me ! I don't even have a dedicated CD player, other than the one in my computer ... amazing that a format over 30 years old is still selling ! (others didn't fare so well - Beta, cassette, El-Cassette 8-track etc.) Took a week or so and re-ripped entire CD collection to FLAC to replace 128K rips I had made at the beginning .... Just my $ 0.02 ---------------------------------------------- Bill Clark, Windham, VT Logitech Media Server Version: 7.9.2 - 1578727069 @ Sat Jan 11 08:44:06 CET 2020 Hostname: ubuntu-lms - ProxMox Virtual Environment 5.4-3 piCorePlayer | piCorePlayer v5.0.0 | linux 4.19.40-pcpCore_v7 | piCore v10.1pCP | Squeezelite v1.9.2-1158-pCP ----------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kappclark's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=29572 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111693 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
