Just say NO to Mp3. It is a lossy codec. Flac is much preferred. Wav may be better But from my comparison i could not hear a difference. The difference is in the space taken on the hard drive. Most of mine are Flac. I do not use Mp3 except maybe in an automobile.Then still nothing less than a high VBR or 320. Hard drive space is relatively cheap today. So I suspect Wav is becoming more popular
Recording from PC to R2R via DAC
Am in the process of re recording older R2R tapes from the early 70's. I subscribe to HD Amazon music and can get HD and UHD songs that I may transfer via my Zen Dac V2. I also have TunPat that I can use to convert these HD songs to any format I desire up to 32 with 728. I have decided to go with Flac as my conversion to stream through the Zen Dac through Shiit Loki Mini + that I can monitor sound quality to Marantz 2270. Will the Zen Dac V2 allow this type of high fidelity transference? Is Flac the best way to go or would some let's say 24 by 320 MP3 sound better? Would I really hear the difference? Finally am thinking of using a Waves emulator to get a better analog representation before re recording. Any thoughts about this?
