My choice for ripping and converting files is DBpoweramp though i am sure others have recommendations as well. Since i dont know u at all i will ask your age and occupation. I am north of 50 and work as a mechanic and my hearing is not what it used to be. Have your speakers always been in the same room? Vaulted ceilings are not kind to music or conducive to good 2 channel. Does your rig have any room correction system and have you treated your room at all with absorptive materials and wall treatments to diffract the audio waves. More questions than answers but it is important to find the root cause and get a sense of your room.
