Took an hour drive today to buy an external DAC so I could listen to HI Res Lossless music…but came home empty handed, price was to high and I need to do more reading on them before I spend that kind of money.

I just started listening to Lossless music, now I’m trying to upgrade to Hi Res….anyone listen to either of those..?

ive been reading neil young promoting lossless standards for 30 years but i dont know what flavor he advocates for and havnt heard any myself beside a customer who was into classical music and played me some but jeez the amps and speaker he had alone would make anything sound great...

Yes I listen to lossless music.

From vinyl to CD to digital. First with .wav files and today with .flac files.

I just finished ripping 200+ more CDs as flac albums, flac albums are the way to go for me, holds the metadata too. Got a new 512 gigabyte card for my tablet for the flac albums. Still cleaning up the metadata before transfer.

High resolution? Don't know, whats the differance from lossless. My equipment is small for what it's worth, low power use.

Hi Res Lossless is 24 bit at 192kHz vs Lossless 16 bit at 44 kHz

After doing a bunch of reading last night it seems my AVR can do Hi Res but just not with Apple Music, I’m going to probably try a new streaming service soon, I’m thinking about paying for TIDAL.

my understanding is that though mp3 is much lower fidelity than CD, CD is in fact a lower fidelity standard than you find on an album recording

you have to rip the highest quality recording via a lossless protocol an with CD your starting with diminished goods.
