Hi All, I recently got myself some proper headphones and DAC but now I realise I don't have much high quality music , my collection is mostly flac but only very few higher than 48k. So where do you get your music? does it even matter beyond that?

You don't really need more than CD quality 44.1kHz/ 16 bit uncompressed audio. At that point the mix is more important. I try to go for early pressing of CDs and vinyl because I find most remasters are overly compressed and de noised, which sucks the life out the music.

But for new albums, I been liking SDEs reissue series on Blu Ray Audio, almost all of them have the best new stereo mixes I've heard of the albums they released and have Atmos mixes, if your interested in spacial audio. Apple Music has many of those albums, but they are compressed, even the Atmos versions.
