| Redbook Keeps Surprising lp2cd,Your clarification has been most helpful. I was actually thinking of donating my entire physical cd collection to the local library but it looks like I can't do that now. :(J. | |
| Redbook Keeps Surprising Hi bsmith,In my system, it’s just the opposite. The ripped cd file sounds better than the cd spinning in the super heavy transport of my old Esoteric K-01. Many others in audioland have also found ripped files to sound better than cd’s.To be fair,... | |

| Upsampling - but seriously folks jimspov,You are right. It actually makes things sound worse, at least for my dac which can upsample 2x, 4x, 8x and to dsd. I find it best to go with upsampling off.J. | |
