Hello,
I'm puzzled about one question. When you rip CD's using - for example - EAC in the highest possible way, does the apodizing filters then having an real effect when playing back (via - for example - Kaleidescape server and mediaplayer)? It's my understanding so far that the data of a ripped CD is superior to the original, because the original has to be read optically and doesn't benefit from correction by software). So, if my understanding is right, does the apodizing filters have any effect?
Gr. Paul.
