What's a Good Way to Buy Music Collections?


I want to grow my collection of music files and buying CD's one at a time and ripping them takes a long time. Does anyone know where I can simply buy thumb drives of lossless or hirez music files? Thanks

If you believe this device brings MP3s to the sonic quality of DSD, then I have a bridge to sell you.  I'm sure it's a fine player, but its ad copy is a thin tissue of lies, exaggeration and puffery.  If anything, converting 44.1/16 to DSD is a LOSSY conversion, since you are converting between formats.

@kota1 Upsampling adds nothing to the sound quality of a CD  44.1/16 file - except bloat, that is.  The line...

"selectable Real-Time DSD Conversion converts MP3, WAV, and FLAC music files into DSD-quality audio" 

...is just absolute nonsense.

@kota1 I have not heard the Onkyo, but common sense and many experiments with upsampling have borne out my statement.  Regardless of the nonsensical aspect of it, the claim that this DAP will magically convert MP3 to DSD-Quality audio should be punishable under fraud statutes.
