A1UC Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) I was just going through some of my flac downloads and noticed some at 0% compression and some 30-60 % compression , I thought when downloading Hi rez files they should be at 0% compression .I switched awhile back from vinyl to digital and trying to understand this .The files I downloaded are from Pono , HD Tracks my question is when downloading HiRez is it normal to get compressedmusic ? I know using like db poweramp one can pick zero compression and rip a CD is this a better way to go ? just buy the CD and rip it yourself Edited August 4, 2015 by A1UC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
