Compressed mp3's - what to do with them?
Say you converted your music at 192kps or somewhere north of 100. Recapturing in lossless isn't going to happen in the near future (two kids, small business owner, etc).
I've got them on an external drive attached to my iMac G4 and an iTV at my stereo/TV locale. I can wirelessly grab those tunes from my iTunes, and put them directly into my integrated amp (Blue Circle CS), or would be open to a lower priced DAC like the USB thingee from BC also.
I know that putting makeup on a pig... but will the sound IMPROVEMENT be worth it from changing the iTV analog out to an iTV digital out to an inexpensive DAC?
Or do I need to find a college student who needs some money to recapture my 1000 CD collection?
thanks
