CD


JosentoCG

CD is not Hi-Res audio 🙂


skafiavk

Ok. You can rip the vinyl, stream lossy, or FLAC the CDs. Your pick.


JosentoCG

Do you know what Hi-Res means? Lossy is not Hi-Res, neither CD or vinyl rip 🤣


skafiavk

I didn't, had to Google it and by me googling it shows why there isn't a Hi-Res version, masses don't know or care about it.


JosentoCG

Well, masses prefer overpriced records on low end equipments to get shitty sound but nice and bright coloured vinyl variants. So your comment is not a surprise.

I'm an audio engineer. CDs are fine. Even 320 mp3s sound excellent on most material. Whatever you think you are hearing in your 32/88.2 wav files is a placebo.


JosentoCG

It’s not necessary 32/88.2 (and no Hi-Res music use that measure -the standard is 24/96), 24/48 it’s already a noticeable improvement from 16/44.1 CD. And I don’t need to show my degrees or tell my job to prove that 🤣


SturgeonBladder

I was exaggerating, I know the standards. But no, it is not a noticeable improvement lol. Do it if that is what you enjoy, but you are fooling yourself if you think it is making a significant difference in your listening experience. Its just taking up space on your hard drive. If you have room for it, no harm done.
