Shouldn't ripping the CD in WAV create a file that is around 400 mb anyways? I don't think there can be much of a difference tbh. CD quality is only 16bit(not lossless), where as the digital download is 24bit. The biggest difference you are going to hear is louder, broader, and deeper sound. Even the opening synths on Alice have a deeper more rigid undertone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrence 1,206 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Tbh the human ear can't really distinguish the kbps quality after about 300kbps, and if anything you will need really high quality headphones, rendering Tidal useless. just my two cents..

I would expect quite a bit difference over iTunes at 48/24 that’s good and better than cd 44/16. Hard to know if the improvement over cd lossless would be noticeable.

I'm not even gonna get into that, but CD quality is lossless by definition, as the files aren't compressed, they are mastered in that quality for Cds. Anyways, enjoy whatever version of the album you believe sounds better for yourself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake 7,385 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 It's literally FLAC format and that already came out on release day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToxicHot 6,425 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Omg. I need to hear it. I've only heard the album in iTunes quality (and I've heard it on Amazon Music/Spotify, but those are streaming services so by default they're not great quality). dOnT sAd ReAcT mE 2 bE sHaDy i WiLL RePoRt U!!1!

That’s a misconception which is based on average and modest sound within a room setting with other ambient noise competing wave length upon wave length. When experiencing music directly with headphones(of any kind actually), the disparity is greater and noticeable, especially at higher volumes.

I mean you don’t have to, most people are generally not picky with quality anyway but there is a difference just like there’s a difference between 1080p and 4K resolution on a screen.

I agree, there is a technical difference for sure, what I'm getting at is that the human ear simply cannot distinguish it. 128 kbps vs 320 kbps? sure, 320 kbps vs wav? In some cases, but 16bit vs 24bit from the same source? No way. But that's my opinion based on what I know regarding the subject, I mean no disrespect. If you truly do feel like you have a better experience when hearing the 24 bit version vs let's say, the CD, then you go ahead and enjoy in in that format, at the end of the day we're all here because we want to enjoy the music.
