Downloaded flac files vs master

The clocks vs Tidal. They have the exact same masters of that album. Tidal hurts my ear. Radio Paradise sounds exactly like cds, which is a bonus.

Listen to your friend is right about Flac files vs Tidal, Radio Paradise on the other hand is just the same as Flac. But in short high Rez is not worth it!. Many Flac files on HD Tracks, and the store you mentioned. So can somebody tell me if 16bit,44khz still is Flac? I can't knock you on your choice of music - Time is one of my favourite tracks closely followed by Brain Damage. But can someone tell me where Flac files starts with cds? All great albums!!

Yes I agree that they will sound superior to streaming. Here's a question then. If you were to rip the CD's that you just mentioned above and store them on a nas drive, would you lose any of the quality? I have not ripped my cds yet. According to the Steve Hoffman Forum it can be tru since you can get jitter interferes when you rip a cd, make your own copy on a CD-R and so on. I'm far from an expert, but flac is a codex or algorithm that is applied to reduce the size of a file, but by encoding not reduce its content.

Flac could equally be 14 bit However, there is little point to making a flac file of higher resolution than the original recording. I suspect that practice goes on a lot. Yes that makes sense.

Those I'd avoid because if played unfolded, you'll get only 13bits. Of course, this isn't exactly legit, but it does feel good ripping off Jay-Z EB said:. How is you ripping off Jay Z? How can the MQA file be bigger than the original file? You're not making sense. The rest of the bits are used as the MQA metadata. As for Jay-Z - He's the owner of Tidal View attachment View attachment Last edited: Feb 1, That's something you encoded,How is MQA bigger than the original?

So what did you use Athame from github for? How do you know what size the master file are? You work for the studio,Tidal etc? Athame is a geat too which allows Deezer and Tidal and Google Music users to play their music fully offline using any third-party payer software or hardware based.

At home, I prefer to play using my personal library. I do not work for any studio or Tidal. When streaming a Master album, of course.

AAC's quality Replies 17 Views The same question applies to Tidal or any other high-res streaming service , but since to my knowledge only Qobuz and Bandcamp offers to stream and purchase files, it's best to limit it to Qobuz: Would a downloaded FLAC file sound better or any different from the same track streamed directly with Qobuz app or in my case with Audirvana on a fast connection?

I have purchased and downloaded Qobuz files, and I have streamed directly, and I have never noticed any difference. But I have to admit, I was interested in the music, not concentrating on sound quality. If the difference had been large, I'm sure I would have noticed.
