Previously, I ripped everything to 320K MP3.  However, after listening to
that for over a year I pulled out the original CD and was amazed at the
difference between the MP3 and the CD.  I'm slowly converting to WAV now and
all new music gets ripped to WAV.  I still keep the MP3 around for portable
players.

All:

I was just wondering ... of those who read this list, what format / sample
rate etc do you use and why? Speaking for myself, I elected to rip
everything to WAV as I use the ATs in fairly good home audio systems; I have
a separate drive to which I rip the content to MP3 at 192 (which I find to
be a reasonable compromise between fidelity and file size as well as
manageable for portable devices). I elected WAV as ny de-facto standard as I
figured if I was going to archive my collection, given the affordability of
drives (and getting more so every year) I should stick with the best
fidelity possible.

I only ask the question because I have read with some interest comments
about the quality of the DACs in the AT and I wonder how much of the
grousing about them comes from playing back (heavily) compressed files and
expecting uncompressed results. I don't want to start a flame war...but to
my ears...playing WAV files using the on-board DACs is actually very good
overall.

Just wondering...
