First, rip the CD at read speed 2-4X (Tools/Options/CD,DVD/General/CD-Ripping/ReadSpeed). Save the file to your hard drive as an uncompressed wave (Tools/Options/Encoding/Encoder).
Then, convert and save the rip as a 24-bit, 176,400-Hz, uncompressed wave file:

There is no reason to do this.  If you really want to send the files to your DAC as 176400 sample rate, use the Output Format in the DSP Studio to upsample 44.1kHz to 176.4kHz.  If your DAC uses a 24 bit input (which it almost certainly does), then JRiver is going to convert to 24 bit anyway.

It's also much easier to use the output format to test different upsampling rates than it is to externally convert the entire file.

This is a great thread !
I have a friend that I have been trying for ages to convert to MC (even before MC15).  He is finally fed up with iTunes  ;D
I will send him this URL and he probably will recognize himself  ;)

Re: Upconverting CD's to make them sound like vinyl - There are probably many ways to do this. The point is that CD's sound hugely better as WAV files on MC than as CD's on your CD player. It doesn't make sense, but it works. Please try it and let me know what you think. Ken
