>>3410492Yes, they are called master copies, or Raw format which I've dealt with extensively over the years. They get converted into AAC or some equally aggressive MP4 container to compress the shit out of them, or get converted to 41,000PCMWav for CDA's. Both lack any decent range.
Image attached, unless your dealer deals with 24bit WAV, you're getting compressed crap. Vinyls are made directly from the RAW rip.
