CD ripping


Most of my 600 CDs were ripped thorough iTunes as m4a format.

Is it worth re doing this to wav ?

my 2 Channel system is oppo 105 to rega brio r and epos 11 speakers.

If worthwhile any advise on how I should do it myself or reco on services to outsource to?

Appreciate any guidance.

You should definitely rip your CDs in Apple Lossles before dumping them! Or flac, wav, whatever...I have a hard time noticing the difference and then questioning my hearing when listening thru iPod into SR-71 into Sennheisers but with Pono into balanced h/p (rewired Beyerdynamics and also Senns) the difference is obvious to me. I disagree with a previous post, once iPod or Pono are connected to my big-rig stereo (its top "olive" series Naim), the difference is much more obvious for me. So... Whatever your ABX testing results now, do save your collection in "lossless" format!
