I converted those DVD audio RIFF WAV to FLACs in the name of saving space without losing the surround sound/quality.
I do wish there was a mass conversion (e.g. Amazon Auto RIP) to FLACs (ditch MP3, M4A, and Ogg Vorbis altogether).

I've actually tested this. There is a difference between VBR & CBR decode in both processor usage and battery life. I'm talking of course about portable devices. For PC's, you're totally right, the difference is trivial.

Once i need to retract the statement on The Sony - - it seems toi have fallen down once lightly - - and now it does no more correct CD Readouts, just with bumps and on - -
not suited anymore for present; sadly;
i do my rips in WAV or AIFF (when tracktitles needed) and then depending on the usecase, and player involved, i might transcode them again. The New Sony Walkman happily play most formats, but i still think the Mini-Disc sound great, so i use them often.
mp3 easily cut too much frequencies out, so i avoid them nowadays as often i can (it used to be different at times with the 28.800/56 kbps modems...)

I still buy CD's. In fact I prefer them over anything else. I do buy HD audio too but I always prefer tangible media and I have a beautiful CD transport to play them on.

Its hard to get the "True" quality from anywhere tho, youtube compresses the crap out of it against higher quality 320kbps vs the original
Have tested it with Apartje. (former Youtuber which was making Hard bass music), the original vs downloaded, its an huge gap between the quality.
