CD disks do not necessarily sound better than downloads. It depends on how much compression is used and I'm highly skeptical as to what the human ear can detect anyway. I see value in the digital verses analog discussion but not in one digital verses another. The ear is not nearly as good and

Why not use lossless compression? Then it's a non issue. CD music is only 44,100 hz so it's not like the highs are that well preserved anyway. You need to get in to the super audio cd stuf or the higher bit rate recordings to get interesting quality. On Nov 14, 2010, at 10:32 PM, Neil Barnf
