Building your music digital music collection


Hello all, just looking for some pointers on how to go about building your own storage library of music which is better than digital streaming (tidal/qobuz). I guess it is the uncompressed wav files or maybe dsd where applicable. From what I understand Flac is compressed. 

I am doing just streaming now, but I think having offline collection and room might be useful.

I have hundreds of CDs I ripped and I’ve downloaded many files from Qobuz and HDTracks with the intention of doing just what you are planning.  That quickly lost steam once I started to stream with Qobuz and Tidal.  I now almost exclusively stream from those two services.  There are titles I cannot find on either and I use my local files when I want to hear those.  It’s so easy to go down rabbit holes on either service finding new music and listening for hours.  I particularly like the related artists and albums both services provide.
