dbpoweramp can rip wav files to flac at any bitrate and resolution you want. It's one of the DSP options (not in the free version, I think it is in the reference version). Lots of listeners think 96k files sound better, even when the source isn't hi-res. One of the possible explanations is that the filtering during the D>A conversion is done at higher frequencies than with standard res, and the result sounds better to some ears. If you like it, do it. -- firedog Tranquil PC fanless WHS server running SqueezeServer; SB Touch slaved to Empirical Audio Pace Car; MF X-150 amp, MF V DAC3, Devore Gibbon Super 8 Speakers; Mirage MS-12 sub; Dual 506 + Ortofon 20 (occasional use); sometimes use PC with M-Audio 192 as digital source.
