May i ask what bitrate a cd has?If the WiiM app is to be trusted , WiiM Amp correctly recognizes 48 vs. 96 vs. 192kHz files, and 16 vs. 24-bit. To be honest, WiiM Amp is a relative budget device and ability to discern sound quality difference between CD quality & hi-res will be limited, even if one's ears could really hear the difference anyway even with higher-end gear. It's nice to see see 96kHz, 192kHz, 24-bit light up in the app though .
In seriousness, when I listen to SACD ripped files in my home theater set-up, using a Dune HD media player, an Onkyo RZ50 and Polk R700's, I can tell the sound quality is richer, with more depth, and with ability to hear subtle sound effects (especially with multichannel).
However, none of the WiiM's I've tried to date (Mini, Pro Plus, Amp) support native SACD DSF or DFF files. Had to convert them to FLAC. Also, WiiM has trouble with multichannel FLAC, so I keep separate 2.0 and 5.1/7.1 versions of albums that have multichannel.
Is that 1600 kbps? 16 bit.?
What is Spotify i dont see the bitrate..
320 Kbps..16 bit?
Edit i see the bitrate of Spotify now.
320 kbps 16 bit.
So if you rip a cd you should constantly see:
1600 kbps 16 bit in each track?
One wonders..
A audio takes much lesser space then a video file( Netflix).
Why doesn't Spotify make the choice for cd files?
Is that a strange question?
