Melco sounds interesting. Had not heard of them.
CD ripping
Most of my 600 CDs were ripped thorough iTunes as m4a format.
Is it worth re doing this to wav ?
my 2 Channel system is oppo 105 to rega brio r and epos 11 speakers.
If worthwhile any advise on how I should do it myself or reco on services to outsource to?
Appreciate any guidance.

Lots more info in this review the I could post here: http://positive-feedback.com/reviews/hardware-reviews/melco-ha-n1a-part-1/ |
Here's a suggestion you might not have thought of. If you can arrange it, listen to your test rips on a decent pair of headphones, preferably via a good quality headphone amplifier, not a portable device like an iPhone. This may matter because in my experience you'll hear things in a tune, a rip, or an audio mix via headphones that are hard to hear from speakers unless the speaker system is high resolution, the listening environment well isolated, and the volume pretty high. |
You should definitely rip your CDs in Apple Lossles before dumping them! Or flac, wav, whatever...I have a hard time noticing the difference and then questioning my hearing when listening thru iPod into SR-71 into Sennheisers but with Pono into balanced h/p (rewired Beyerdynamics and also Senns) the difference is obvious to me. I disagree with a previous post, once iPod or Pono are connected to my big-rig stereo (its top "olive" series Naim), the difference is much more obvious for me. So... Whatever your ABX testing results now, do save your collection in "lossless" format! |
