Unintended Consequences? Digital Streaming
My system has become more revealing through gear upgrades over the past year. This is a good thing right? Well perhaps yes and no. I've begun noticing that even while streaming 24 or 32 bit/44khz files over Qobuz that many albums now sound compressed to me and that I don't lose that "compressed" sound until I move up into the 32 bit/96 kHz files and above. This certainly adds to the magic I realize while playing through my vinyl front end which sounds humongous, open, and vibrant but much of my streaming digital experience has become less than satisfying.
Am I imagining this compression while streaming supposedly lossless files? Can anyone else relate or have similar experiences?
