Recording from PC to R2R via DAC

To those who have responded and will respond with negative comments about my equipment  or streaming agent I don't care. That was not the question that I asked. So please restrict your "helpful" advice to the nature of my question involving the true intent of my quest. Otherwise please do not respond unless it truely helps me to complete my task.

I'm sure the original R2R tapes would sound better because they are less stepped on. Amazon music is just plain bad. +1 Fuzz

I disagree. However I checked the net and found no definitive answers of it being a scam. I also however have used it successfully to convert Amazon music files to Flac files for my purposes. Maybe your experience was different. 

They say the difference besides size is processing power. Just keep a reasonable buffer and it’s almost impossible to hear the diff with most equipment.

flac is almost universally supported now daze.

Ripping analog is so time consuming that if you don't at least flac you will forever regret it.

I agree so I have all of my conversions to Flac. 

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
