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.

Building a music library makes sense if,

1) you own a large enough collection of rare CD’s that are sourced from analog masters and currently not available on Qobuz/Tidal. I own over 500 such albums, majority of them still not available on any streaming services and sounds much superior than streaming counterparts.

2) you plan to buy DSD downloads….do this if your system is high resolution and you can honestly tell apart DSD from Qobuz stream, otherwise Qobuz files in 24bit/192kHz is pretty darn good for most part.
