Does a ripped cd onto a digital format sound better than the cd played on the cdp

For Toslink cables I recommend this excellent one: https://btpa.com/TOSLINK-XXX.htm It's recommended to get at least one meter length to prevent overloading the Toslink receiver. Steve N. Empirical Audio |
Depends as everyone says on streamer etc. I like others use XLD with massive correction to rip and on my streamer it sounds a world apart better ..... but SACD on my Arcam CDS50 was pretty special. Streamer lets you get into Hi res files like 24 bit downloads which again step up. I also make a 24 bit recording (just side a / side b) of every new record I get as 24bit was files and I can then stream this throughout flat rather than just in main music Lounge. BUT - so many cd are great quality and if happy spend it on music. |
Playing CDs ripped to FLAC through my Zenith MKII into a Mytek Liberty DAC into a NAD M12 sounds better to my ears than my McIntosh MCD7008 directly to the M12. Before I purchased the Liberty, I did compare the MCD7008 and Zenith into the M12. The Zenith SQ is better and with the Liberty, its even better. |
