![]() Even my old Marantz CD-63SE CD player sounds better than the Mac playing an audio CD. I have AB'ed my Mac playing CDs via my stereo vs the same music on my new CD player (Rotel 1077) and it is no comparison. I would like to use the computer to "serve" my music via my stereo, but the quality just isn't there compared to my new system. ![]() I hate to sound like an audiophile snob (I'm really not one), but I spent a lot of time working on the side to buy an absurdly expensive home stereo system (though still not to the price level of a true audiophile snob) and I mainly want to use that system to play these CDs (my assorted collection disks/play lists). My intention was to play these CDs on my home and car stereo - not play the music from my computer. Thanks to both of you! ElDiabloConCaca has what I was looking for with "lossless" formats. Would it make any difference for me to set iTunes to import using the AIFF encoder? Or just what is the highest quality/best setting to import CDs into iTunes (disk spacer is not a problem)? Is this right? I guess I am asking because I notice that when I load a CD and view its files, the Mac sees them as AIFF and the same occurs when I burn a disk - the files in the CD I burned show up as AIFFs too. ![]() I'm assuming I have it right by having iTunes set up to import using the WAV encoder, 48 kHz, 16 bit stereo (though I guess any 20 bit / HDCDs will not be in the original format, but I digress). This is kind of a dumb question I have simply avoided for years and I'm a little embarrassed about asking it (and I swear I did many searches here), but I am doing 100% legal copying of my CDs by creating new CDs with specific songs/artists for listening in the car and/or at home and I am wondering just what format will give me the same exact recording quality/format as the original?
