| Music from ripped CDs (server) No sound quality downside with ripping if done correctly at proper resolution. More upside in general playing ripped files with most streamers compared to CD players that must always optically read often defective or damaged CDs in real time. Some... | |
| What has been your costliest mistake in this hobby? I’ve been streaming over 10 years now and have yet to hear a difference with streamers. Everything else way more. Well, all the other usual things anyhow. It’s the Dac, Mac! | |

| Why the truth is not in them ?? mahgister, it helps to keep in mind a lot of the criticism is coming from people with a tenuous connection with reality... two guys make stuff up about it, attack me personally, and one even ignores actual ad hominems directed at me and accuses me... | |
