[QUOTE="keithp, post: 1168565, member: 21356"] >If you are not streaming with codec AAC256 (is actually not lossy) vinyl or had your vinyl sampled then AIF with WAV PCM format (have identical bits Apple format vs IBM/Microsoft collab) FLAC should be next choice, with & from FLAC 'downwards' are all 'folded' (compressed with algorithmic) obvious advantage regards smaller file sizes. *If one cannot hear any difference between a FLAC vs MP3 320kbps file this could become another subject.. but one should certainly hear a difference. Apparently DSD a format that should not be overlooked is being used for archiving, the problem with this is when you need to remix/work tracks again you have to unfold/un-compress back into AIF or WAV will certainly 'alter' original bit coding is not ideal for future studio edits/re-work. 1bit_worth< [/QUOTE]
