@elizabeth You are actually changing the data retrieved off a 16bit/44.1Mhz CD and having the Marantz up-sample the CD data to whatever. The original is still 16/44.1 and that is that. Half the problem with Hi-Rez downloads is that the masters (tape) were done at a bit rate (eg 16) but up-sampling falsely changes this to 24 bit by colouring in and sharpening the sound image. Sort of like photoshopping a bad or low res image. A.
Converting cd's to high resolution audio
All my music is on cd's and my reading tells me that the cd itself has a limited shelf life and will degrade over time.
Any recommendations about converting my cd's to FLAC or some type of high quality music files. Not looking for
compressed files.
I see products such as the Blue Sound Music Vault and a Sony High Resolution Music Player.
Does anybody have any thoughts about how to accomplish this goal?
Thank you.
