Rutracker has a ton of high fidelity rips in various formats, such as DSD, FLAC, DVD-A, and others.
What is you're preferred file type and music player? I feel DSD, DTS, and maybe PCM is the only acceptable one in 2016.
Also, I do not understand the difference from TR24 OF and SACD OF. Please inform me.

Is m4a good?
>>53864492
I download all my music off of YouTube 720p videos. It's their preferred format and sounds good to me
But I also have tinnitus and prefer pre-1950s music that I hear with 40$ cans so I'm not the best judge

I've always used mp3. I might try m4a since it is theoretically better.
TR's are sourced from only downloads, SACD OF are sourced from SACD's
I download CD's, enjoy your placebo OP
>>53864492
Ya it works well
>>53864353
Why the fuck would you prefer PCM over FLAC when they are both lossless and FLAC has smaller file size?
>>53864695
Because FLAC is compressed, and compression is bad!

Compression is not bad when it is lossless.
>>53864492
Its ok, not the best format, and apple uses it. Comparable to highly compressed FLAC.
>>53864615
Cancer. I have tinnitus too (Visual Snow) and I can easily tell the difference from YouTube and a shitty mp3.

Thank you anon, and CD's are plebeian tier.
>>53864695
The technology behind PCM is more sophisticated, and it is hard for me to distinguish from a stereo SACD rip and a good quality PCM rip. Also, I have tons of hard drive storage space, so I do not worry about file size.

Lossless is compression nonetheless.
Ogg Vorbis for compression
FLAC for lossless
cmus for playback
Sansa ClipZip for portability.

Just use nggr audio comression

So, why dont you use FLAC? You wont lose any audio quality and you have better metadata support
>>53867208
Because most of my rips are PCM. I don't need to convert, and PCM is subjectively better. If had to choose between the two, PCM it is. Otherwise FLAC is good enough.

FLAC is an archiving format, mate. Why you people keep using it wrong?

Is this yuropoor book shilling placebo? Have you ever tried DVD-As(not double vagina double anal)? I've never seen any music recordings sold in DVDA format.
