Tusk Vinylrip 24bit-96kHz -question

[David]

Gerald, don't you think that the funny Fin butthead might know the answer to this audiophile question?

You can put the "Files" on 4 cd's if you want, but they won't play in a CD player like that.
Cd players play 44Khz 16 bit audio, and some newer ones play mp3 files. But i've never heard of one playing FLAC or 96Khz anything.

Again you could put them on a DVD, but they would be likely still be in a computer format.

No offense, but you want to play them in the car?
surely CD-quality is sufficient in a car with road noise and all.

SACD is a format that plays 96khz quality (i think) but unless you have a SACD player.....

Thank you.

But I know cd-players won't play Flac files, that's why I converted them to Wave....

foobar2000 to burn the flac files to CDR, and they played easily in my Sony CD changer. I use foobar2000 as my primary PC burner since one does not need to change files from to flac to wav to burn a disc.

And thanks for the link Gerald - the vinyl rip sounds great.

Sorry if my reply looked like I hadn't read what you said properly,
I know you have converted to wave, but to create a audio cd, the software will downconvert to 16bit 44khz for you. If it didn't do this, the CD wouldn't play.

Ah, that sounds totally understandable, thank you. So I should burn them on DVD and hook the DVDplayer up to the stereo for the best result?

Dvd standard would seem to support upto 24-bits/192 kHz (according to wikipedia)
so yeh, in excess in fact.

yes, I think so. I also asked it on the other board.
