Was the source material on CD, or another digital format? If so, I think almost everyone would agree it's a mistake to rip at a rate other than the original. Doing so is effectively doing a D->A then an A->D again, which will introduce noise, jitter, and possibly quantization artifacts depending on your (computer) hardware. On the other hand if you simply rip a CD to WAV in the normal fashion (keeping the sampling frequency at 44.1 kHz), all you're doing is making a copy of the bits, which keeps things as true to the original as is possible. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24926 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
