To be fair the correct answer from this list is Beat It, for the Van Halen solo.

The Long YouTube
versions are so good,
I have recorded them onto a CDR.

You take them out of a Cable Audio Stereo
that goes into a Left and Right splitter
from your computer, goes in the back of your HiFi.
And Push the 24bit upgrade on
the Sony Double CD and CDR player/recorder.

Also
The Late & Great Eddie Van Halen (Guitar Solo) is on a Great Moby Remix
that came out on CD Single.
Sony.

You also can't burn it from a lower fidelity source arista that's music piracy 101! You can't regain lost fidelity by converting to a different format... you burn an MP3 source to a CD, it's still going to sound like an MP3. The fidelity is lost... they record these updated studio versions from the source master copies.

Either way, you certainly don't do it by recording the analogue output into the back of your HiFi. You literally CANNOT record anything more than 2.0 audio from your red/white stereo inputs... use your noggin!

IF you must burn to a physical disk (I suggest not, honestly, you can get high fidelity digital files) then you need to burn the source file directly from your PC.

The clue is in the name . 5.1 = 5 channels + sub. Your stereo splitter cable only carries 2 channels... and over copper cables? Ugh I can't even start this is making me feel ill .

And these New SACD 4.1 & 5.1 Discs
are above any of your downloads




You are wrong about computer cable output
I upgrade it to 24bit.



Yes you can Pay High Prices to get DSD Downloads
I do not need them

The UK Company
Selling SACD in 4.1 and 5.1 are just £11.99
Made in the Old Sony SACD Factory in Austria.

OK I lied and have brushed up;

Lossless compression of digital audio has been a thing for a while, and a lot of YouTube videos use FLAC encoded PCM files. You can also download totally uncompressed PCM files in WAV format (large file size) - up to 32 bit natively. What you are essentially doing with your cables and a CD burner, is splitting the file into standard stereo and then upscaling it back onto a CD at max 24 bit. I'm sorry arista but it can only possibly sound like trash. Maybe you need new speakers/headphones.

Either way, you can play 32bit lossless FLAC files directly from a computer, and you can probably even stream them from a decent phone (e.g. to a car bluetooth) that way ... no physical disk required. And if you're going to burn a 24bit CD you want to do it by getting a 24bit uncompressed PCM wav file and burning it using a CD burner on your PC - not on a hifi. It will burn at native 24bit. No need for upsampling.

I just want to help arista I can't bear to think about these lossless hi-def files being screeched through a soundcard, coax cable, hifi and then into a burner. Ripped to shreds .

I have other Sources and DAT Recorder
which gives my 6 Hours of artist via Long Play 180mins tape

You do not need you to advise me.


I have bought DSD CD's
and found the LP is missing sounds


DSD Downloads are Great but Over Priced.


SHM CD's from Japan have DSD
and are above 24bit
