Ripping CD Optimally
Hello,
I no longer listen to CD, but I have a substantial CD collection (few hundreds). I want to sell or give away those CDs. But before, I want to rip it so I can play in from Roon or other software.
I'm sure number of people did that in the last decade and l'm hoping I can benefit from some experience and lesson learned from this community. More specifically, I'm looking for advices on 3 aspects:
1) Audio Format
I want to keep the maximum AQ but I know digitalize a CD will not create quality, so I doubt DSD 1024 would make sense. What format/container would be the best to preserve the CD quality?
2) Ripping Software
There are many out there all of them claiming to be the top/no. 1. Does paying for one worth the price or a free / open source is equally good? I'm on macOS.
3) External CD (and DVD) reader
There are plenty on amazon on the 25-40$ (CAD) price range. Anyone have good, or bad experience to share with those? Any brand or model to consider or avoid?
Thanks in advance!
P.S. I hope this questions belong to this topic. If not kindly point me toward the right one.
