Hard drives crash and die! You better have at least two storing your data. Otherwise, goodbye music collection! That's why I will stick with my collection of CD players!
Mr. Obvious (?) - digital source (burn)
After decades of improved CD players, I’ve been enjoying an Oppo BDP-103, on audio only. I now ponder the idea of a home music server, replacing the silver discs. After reading about the burning process (pit impressions and blank/land space), I’m thinking this front-end physical step creates the same coding on a CD Master Disc, on a hard drive, and on my burned discs via my home Mac. Home music servers use a hard drive, as do streaming services. They all use the exact same coding, via a hard drive or 4.7 inch disc. Correct? As to the all important sound quality, is the Only variable the DAC doing the de-coding before listening? I doubt a CD Transport affects sound quality(?). End question - any need for a home server vs. popping in my manageable group of CDs? Perhaps there is an engineer out there who can chime in. Thanks.
