My new streamer MU2 reveals, sadly, no difference in ripped files anymore (used to between DSD and AIFF). I doubt the new streamer was the problem. Hmm, I’ll stop wasting storage from now on.

Save space for all the SACDs you’ll rip soon!

Nah, I need to get out of chair looking for discs once for a while.

By the way, don’t forget to dust off your vinyl collection to get rid of spider webs on weekends😆

Another vote for AIFF for redbook, and yes take the time to rip the SACDs

I agree. I’m of the opinion that it doesn’t really matter in what format you’ve stored your files, **provided** you’ve paid sufficient attention to isolating the ‘noise’ associated with the computing processes required to get the contents of your files into a (bit-perfect) stream for presentation to your DAC!

If you’re of a similar mind then you may as well choose a (lossless) format where the metadata is arranged to suit your needs.

I meant not compressed to MP3 or whatever. I want the same resolution as the source disc
