![]() ![]() I also think 44.1 is more than enough as it already exceeds the dynamic range of vinyl. I have no interest personally in that, I want my file to sound digital, I have simply ripped them because they are not available on CD.įor that reason I meticulously get rid of the background hiss and many of the pops and clicks and “purify” if you will the sound of the file.
