    You’ve ripped an already degrading file from a cd, it’s already lower quality. You’re arguing that a lossy transfer somehow isn’t lossy…? That’s your argument?

    You need to HAVE the original file, or it’s already not lossless. So when burning cds, there’s already an inherent degrading compared to the original master.

    How are you getting this already perfect file? This seems to be the part people are ignoring. Sure if you have the master, and burned it yourself, it could be the same fidelity as a vinyl. But this situation is never happening unless you have a contact in the recording industry.

    In almost every case, unless you ignore reality, a burnt CD will never the same fidelity…. Since you aren’t dealing with the original file in every case.

      Ignore the burning part for a moment, you’re telling me a .wav file is lower quality than listening on the CD?

      It’s a lossless file type.

      Edit: if I’m wrong can you explain how?
