Hi,
I've had a read about and can't quite find the answer to this - so apologies if it is a daft question. Hardware costs notwithstanding, can a downloaded digital lossless audio file ever be as good as the original CD? I assume that the lossless files originally come from a CD which makes me think that the CD will always be the superior source file.
Added to that, if you rip a CD to the highest lossless file format that you can (HDD space not being an issue), can it be played back to give the same sound quality as playing the original CD?
