Redbook Keeps Surprising

I was a Best Buy to get a memory card reader for my computer. Looked at the CDs and saw a few in the bargain bin that I would like to have, only a few dollars. Came home, ripped them with DB power amp, picked the best cover art. Transferred to my Aurender through the NAS and played away. WOW, impressive sound and I really enjoyed them both. I like the High Res downloads and my SACD collection but am often really impressed by good Redbook CD. It really is the music that counts.

Is there a moderator we can reach out to?  Pretty clear that a warning is far overdue.

Why on earth would any of you ditch your physical discs?  You might need a back-up.  Further, it's fairly obvious that ripping and selling is wrong.

As for redbook, well, the sound quality will depend not only on the DAC but on the mastering work (same goes for hi-res PCM or DSD).  Those who are seriously interested should join the Steve Hoffman forum and search for threads discussing specific albums.
