What were you ripping to? I experimented extensively with options before ripping my collection, which I play back through my Naim solution.
I have found that 320k bit rate with VBR gives insignificant difference to Lossless formats, but with a significant space saving. Now that discs are so much cheaper if I were starting again I would probably go lossless to future proof myself, but not because I could really tell the diff. It's just too much effort to go back over my (huge) collection to re-rip it now that disc costs are largely irrelevant. There is also the separate issue that I use my collection extensively for remote streaming and for playing on an iPod, both of which wouldn't work well with higher bit rates or lossless. -- alextegg ------------------------------------------------------------------------ alextegg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5073 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33415 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
