Warning about dbPoweramp - Re: Compression level for FLAC in dbPowerAMP?

136.142.21.17

Use EAC to rip to wav then convert to flac using MediaCoder.

Initially, I tried to using the dbPoweramp and did a couple of hundred albums before I thought to do a headphone comparison with other ripping methods. The dbPoweramp rips were inferior sounding to the WAV --> FLAC rips.

I had to redo a couple of hundred albums because I didn't check out the quality of the ripping methods.

If you care about quality, use the EAC then use something like MediaCoder to batch convert all your files. I'm know there are other ways, but I just wanted to warn you that the dbPoweramps don't sound as good.
