It doesn't matter how good your stereo is - garbage in garbage out. I find it astonishing that in the same forum as people talk about things like SPDIF jitter and 24-bit digitial volume scaling as being detrimental to sound quality that there's anyone who's unwilling to use a good ripper.
Do you really think that all read errors are as obvious as a pop? A few bits off here and there may well not be obvious until you compare to the original CD (and who does that?) but it will make orders of magnitude more difference to the SQ than a dithering volume control. It's like spending $5k on a cartridge but not wiping dust off the record. -- radish ------------------------------------------------------------------------ radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49492 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
