So (divvynoob question) DSD/SACD stuff, can I rip it from a cd with my standard PC drive as I would a normal album, or is it like a proprietary Bluray format for albums and I'd have to go digital to get hold of the files? Also, where's the best place to go digital? Occasionally I find a cd that's out of my price range, even second hand. Taking gambles on new/new old albums seems to be my main hobby, but I try to cap my music purchasing at £40-50 per month.Skerret wrote:Jon Hopkins for electric noodling.
It might say 24bit (24/96 I expect) but that's largely meaningless. You're not doing it wrong, though it can't hurt to rip at native specs if possible bar a small increase in filesize. There's a whole mess of stuff around about DACs not being to prperly represent 24bits of information anyway until you get into proprietary multibit DACs which is where the silly money is. Anyway fuck that, rip at 16 and be damned.Moot_Geeza wrote:One more - I ripped Ziggy Stardust yesterday, and the cd case had '24-bit' on a sticker. I'm flac'ing at 16-bit, partly because you told me to (Skerret!), and partly because Seeeegaaaa. Am I doing it wrong?

Skerret wrote:Yerp. Check out dis business Find your favourite album and weep, though certain music works better with less dynamics I think. Still plenty of stuff being recorded well. Supposedly, this all dates back to records being played in bars and the louder the record the better it would tend to do for obvious reasons so this carried over to radio.
