Not really, you claimed CD had problems with quality
Well, it does - to get the information on a CD readable by domestic equipment - even high-end - the bottom and the top of the audio spectrum is chopped off. While the actual frequencies are either inaudible to the human ear, or getting that way, the interference patterns they cause tend to make the sound from a CD seem dry and brittle.
My CD player tries to compensate for this with an optional valve stage, but really, all it does is to mellow the sharp edges.
and then asked for the way to get highest quality audio onto a disc. How did my answer not give you the highest quality that you wanted? :)
True, andbuthowever, there's no guaranteeing that everyone who might have an interest in the record has either the equipment or the knowledge to make use of the files.
And before you come back with 'these days, *everybody*...', I made that mistake recently, having just sent someone a CD of jpegs with long filenames - and his OS won't play with them...
'Aim for the lowest common denominatrix and - - - - <no carrier>' is my motto.
I'll report back when I've hooked everything up.
