some thoughts on ripped cds and url formats

i have some AKG Professional Studio Headphones - K275. im listening without my player now, since i gave it away and im trying the AKG phones out on my computer. also, im figuring out the quality differences between some url albums from TIDAL and my own ripped cds from my store purchases. i ripped a Tool - Lateralus album with freac into flac default compression and now comparing it to the TIDAL 44khz 16bit url flac album. the difference when i listen with the SONY mdr-1am2 is much more noticeable when it comes to maybe the formal quality with mainly the sony phones themselves and whereabout the AKG phones come into view when i listen - comparing. the akg phones have some sort of peculiar thing when i can figure, some sort of complex coverting must really take place for the quality in the phones to really appear inside the technology. the sony phones dont need much advanceing through to any more steps than some custom converting that i have been doing. also, the AKG phones and where i can think getting a astell and kern portable player is in my thoughts. the new astell and kern ultima 2000t just came out with a dual amplifier vacuum tube, normal, configuration player. i want a good player and it shouldnt be too hard to come up with the money, really... but ill keep trying out the AKG phones for a while and keep the sony phones with the naxa portable cd player.
