500+ Head-Fier
Hi all;
After 50+ years fo collecting records (and later CDs), I'm running out of space, and considering buying future music in high-resolution format. I'm confused by formats and sample rates, and wonder if any of you can point me to a web site for beginners-high rez for dummies, I suppose? I'm mac based and run Amarra (when I can figure it out), and just picked up a Fiio Q5. Considering a DAP, but there doesn't seem to be an advantage over staying with my iphone and the Q5.
I'm assuming CD quality is as good as digital gets, and given how cheap CDs are now (as compared to the prices I see on the sites like 7digital and HD Tracks, it would make sense to buy, rip and store the CD offsite. That make sense?
Thanks. I have terrible internet (the only downside of living deep in Rural Canada) so my google searching is very spotty.
