Audiophile CDs By Genre

I wish I could give you some referrals... but I haven't purchased a CD in - darn near 10 years.

I am a fan of FLAC rips... there are great programs out there that will convert FLAC to MP3 320 if you want to stream over a network device or upload to a portable media player.

The FLAC rip itself is one of the most pristine ripping methods used today... it sounds absolutely amazing!

Sound wise, I'd recommend U2's "No Line on the Horizon". It's hard to find a rock album that isn't compressed, distorted, recorded at too high a level, but this one is pretty good. I'm only mildly enthusiastic on the music, but sound-wise, it's pretty good, with clean sound, careful production and good staging. There isn't much dynamic range, but it doesn't do much that's real bad.
