All of my CDs have been ripped and reside on my server, I don’t notice any difference between the FLAC files or spinning CDs from my transport player, also streaming can be added as well. All of these formats sound very good.
CD vs.same CD ripped to HD
Hi all,
So I hope this seemingly simple question doesn't star a war.
The background is that I have a ton of CDs and am considering getting a Bluesound Vault 2i so that I can rip them to the Vault's HD, and play them from there.
The simple question is: how does the SQ compare between the two? The CD player is a Marantz SA-8004 digital out to a Denefrips Ares II DAC. I would also use the digital out of the Vault 2i through that DAC.
FWIW, I prefer vinyl (though it is getting closer and closer). But more than anything I'm a music fan, with a whole lot of great music on silver discs.
Opinions??
Richard
