If an album is available as a CD and/ or DVD (not talking DVD Audio) I always check to see whether the DVD has a PCM stream.  If it does I rip that rather than purchase the CD.  Two advantages: 1) the DVD stream often has a higher resolution and sample rate , and 2) somehow, the DVD PCM stream often seems to have escaped the effects of loudness wars, or at least not be as brickwalled as the CDs tend to be.

Just wondering how many of us here are doing the same?
