While you cannot overcome the limitations of 44.1kHz, 16bit PCM audio
format by ripping from CD to .WAV, you can still find some benefit. For
one example, dirty or scratched (cat-chewed?) CDs can often be
recovered with error correction algorithms in good CD ripping software,
which would be unplayable in realtime on a standard CD player. Also, a
PC with a pro sound card and wordclock sync may well be a better
transport than most consumer or audiophile CD players. Finally, I find
it very convenient to have all my digital music stored on hard disk for
easy access, sorting, and inventory.
