I've just been exploring non-DRM downloads from Linn Records and Gimell Records (which are splendid BTW).
However, I have a question concerning Red Book Cds. The spec gives a CD a frequency response of 20Hz to 22.05KHz. A "CD quality download" is presumably a file that's been nowhere near a CD and can be expected to have a wider frequency range. If I produce a CDR audio version of the CD quality downloads, (for car use, say), am I right in thinking I'll be losing the frequency extremes? Does the 20Hz-22.05Khz limit get applied to the data when burning/making the disc, or is it a function of the playback device? [This question would also apply to computer recordings of vinyl - my Era V phono stage spec quotes 5Hz - 2.7MHz (nice for bats and whales:o)] Or have I got this all totally wrong, and 44.1KHz/16bit recordings are limited to the Red Book frequency range by definition? Some enlightenment from those who know would be most welcome!
