Fav Hi Res downloads... What & Where?

Streetdaddy

you need two things... a media player that will play them for you in the file type they are formated into... AIF, WAV, FLAC.

And of course a DAC capable of passing PCM data (usually) in whatever word lengths and bit rates the aforementioned files are provided in.

usually they'll come in 24/96, 24/177, 24/192.

I've not seen yet 16/48, or 24/88 resolution files.

If you can download, playback, and transmit such file types from your pc to a DAC, these sorts via an interface which is capable of carrying them, you're good to go. 24/96 is the high end uf USB dacs... SPDIF; BNC; & AES only, so far, carry info above 24/96.

Hope that helps.

These should keep you busy for awhile. Lots to chose from very good. Hope you like.

What kind of dac do you need to play the hi rez downloads?

Thanks much.

Try Linn Records (linnrecords.com).

HD Tracks are where I am getting my hi rez down loads. Don't know of many sites for marching band tunes, but that's a good thing. Anna Carem is on of my personal favorates...excellent quality.
