When you drop that folder into Foobar2000, JRiver, or Roon, and you watch the sample rate light up on your external DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) to 44.1kHz, you are not just listening to a file.

Warning to collectors: Many files labeled "FLAC" online are upscaled MP3s. Always check the spectrogram. A true FLAC of "Pyramids" (which runs 9 minutes and 53 seconds) will show frequency response up to 22.05 kHz. An MP3 upscale will show a sharp cut-off at 16 kHz or 20 kHz with a "brick wall" filter.
