Thanks for the information, Favresj. I have yet to choose a DAC. I'm still running a 1/8" cord out of my PowerBook G4 -- not ideal, but better than old cassette tapes :-)
SHM-CDs and digital files
The CD format called SHM-CD (produced in Japan) is getting glowing reviews for its superior musical quality compared to conventional CDs. For example, see this Positive Feedback article. The higher quality comes solely from the use of a new material to achieve more precise pits.
My question: If I were to rip SHM-CD tracks to (lossless) digital files for PC playback, would the digital files retain the higher quality on playback, or would the quality advantage be rendered moot?
