I've recently been downloading .wav files from Juno Download to get all the electronic releases. I can't find those CD's around here so I thought the best idea was to download them from a website and burn them to blank CD's.

I burn all .WAV files at 4x.

My question is how different are the CD's you get from original copies compared to blank CD's

These are .WAV files from the artists and they are not compressed, But is it even possible to hear difference from an original CD compared to a blank CD burned at a slow speed with .WAV files.

 

Possible yes, probable no

Most burner/software even if asked to burn at slow speed they will go as fast as they can... if you burn 60 minutes of audio at 1X it will take more than 60 minute to burn. Less then that the system "cheat".

Small error occur when you burn a CD, the error correction system in the drive will fix those but you might get some light artifact if you have too much. You can have error read an original too but the chance is smaller. There's also cheap and good original...

Get a deck that support digital format and forget about those issue.

 

I am guessing a deck that supports digital formats are quite expensive.

I own the Eclipse CD5030.

 

IIRC you can play wav directly from a USB stick with the CD5030

 

Nope, Just shows "No Data".

Looks like it's CD's for me .

 

Sound quality wise I've never had an issue with burnt cds given the original quality was good to begin with. If you're downloading electro music, I think the possibility of hearing a difference between a legit digital download burnt to disc and the actual cd will probably be nil (unless you have an exceptionally keen ear and very high quality setup)

 

Don't have me get mine out of the box to test it!

 

lol

I did put the wav files in folders, not sure if that makes a difference.

it works for mp3's...

 

i think you're right
