Purist Takes on WAV files
I recently ripped (slowly) my 300 CD collection to WAV files (on a $110 250gig drive). I bought a nice USB to S/PDIF out device to feed to my Adcom DAC. For those that don't know the WAV file is stripped of it baggage and if you had a clean read of the CD, the bits should be the same as those produced out the S/PDIF on my 200 CD sony player. It sure sounds the same to me. Am I fooling myself that the quality is the same ? I sure like using winamp to randomly play my entire collection, and playlists that only play songs I like from every CD.
Thanks
