In that case the quality of the music using our regular CD players should always have been inferior, I assume. And I think that goes contrary to my experience. For some reason I still think I get the best listening experience out of the original CD on my CD player. The whole "perfect RIP" theory... I don't know how much I buy into its effect as sound improvement. I know the basic theory is that red book stuff allows for some issues in the process of converting from CD. Then again, then we should worry about the SB's SRAM being quite likely to flip bits here and there as cosmic rays do their evil things (and they do so easily on SRAM). So is the quest for the ultimate bit perfect rip, storage and real time reproduction of songs the next frontier for high end esoteric audio? -- pablolie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32993 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
