Agree with all above - something is wrong, and you should be taking all conversions out of the computer and using an external DAC with no digital processing or volume control. If you are already doing all that then I'm dumbfounded at your results.
Internet Radio sounds better than ripped CDs. Why
My friend and I agree that Internet Radio sounds more alive and dimensional thru our Squeezeboxes than do our ripped Apple Lossless CD files which are streamed from external hard drives.
Why would this be? Internet Radio is usually low bitrate mp3, while our audio files are supposedly CD quality.
Anyone have the same perception?
