Storing Cd's on Hard Disk

I don't wish to muddy the waters, but I have multiple instances where two errorless WAVs of the same cd sound quite different. In one instance it is a cd with and without AVM spray painted label. The others use a Millennium CD disc used on the cd during ripping.

This makes no sense to me but it is worth it to me. I have reripped nearly all discs on my hard drives.

I misspoke earlier. The Apple files were both lossless and AIFF not FLAC.

Tbg, I'm not clear about what you are saying. You re-ripped nearly all of your discs -- why? And what did you do differently the second time?

Well thanks for the comments, very useful.

What about this configuration :

Mini Mac
Remote iTouch
HD storage 2To (a freind of mine will copy 500Mo of apple lossless music (>80 days...)+ my own CD collection say 400ish.
USB Dac to say wavelength (maybe with silver?)

To replace a Reimyo CDP-777

Talk to Gordon about the silver/no silver and your tastes

Just be sure to have a second hard drive to back up the first. Given how inexpensive hard drives are, I would recommend Terabyte drives. Buy the enterprise rated drives not the consumer models. Check newegg dot

My two cents about the drives--Seagate makes a double platter 750 gig drive for less than $100. In general, they are much more reliable than the terabyte drives.
