I'm just getting into what's beyond 320kbps and I'm just trying to get some opinions about the best FLAC player out there. Thank you.
The Absolute Sound is currently in the middle of a 4 part series on computer audio and in part 2 (last month) they rated several programs. Top program (for both CD ripping and playback) was JRiver Media Center. $50 (but does have a 30 day trial period). Two additional plug ins CPlay ($free) and JPlay (99 euros, has a hobbled trial package) add a huge amount to JRMC according to the articles. CPlay is stand alone and minimally featured. Jplay now rides on top of the JRMC interface.
You want the best player, there is one person's opinion.
In part three, they claimed through their testing that "Flac sounded worst than Wav." I'm still trying to figure out how this logically would make sense.
I'm not sure what to make out of The Absolute Sound's articles on computer audio. In part three, they claimed through their testing that "Flac sounded worst than Wav."
