Although some of the music on my MC200 is from HDTracks, the majority so far is from ripped CD I've owned for years. For some time now I've read the incoherent ramblings of audiophiles claiming that ripped music from CD sounds better than the CD itself. Absurd, madness, delusion ..... except, I'm hearing things in my ripped music that was less apparent to me when listening to the CD. Often it's flaws in the recordings, so not necessarily a good thing, but have others had a similar experience?
