A SHOCKING DISCOVERY ABOUT DIGITAL AUDIO


This might come as a shock, not in a bad way but I have discovered that 320KBPS MP3 is actually bit perfect. Shocking isnt it? That does not mean the quality is the same as CD. It is not. You have been warned the master has spoken.

The second shocking discovery i have made recently is that i can actually hear the difference between 320kbps and wav. I never thought i could do it but i heard it. 

Can anybody do what i have done?  I dare any of you audiophiles

Bits is bits. CD is perfect audio. Wav is the same as lossless. FLAC is the same as the original.

Such naivety.

Now we have the hindsight to know how complex the data stream is and how so many untold things effect the conversion. It is amazing that we are still getting trolled by this stuff. 

Looks like Agon has jumped the troll shark. Time go away for awhile of find a new sight for intelligent conversation!

this is overstating it, and not apt given the situation, imo

you hang here for some time, read what is posted, reflect, and stay attentive and engaged... there will be certain (a small minority of) usernames you come to associate with being invariably unhelpful and needlessly provocative, so you just ignore those entries, or treat them as being the garbage that they are

most threads are legit discussions, or folks seeking help, and receiving it

Read the post and Re-read it again (regrettably);…= a .brain fart! 

 

 

Most stuff on pandora sounds just fine to me. Maybe I’m going deaf....I honestly think that CD quality is good enough, as in a cd transport to a good dac. To pursue beyond that provides not much an improvement if any to my ears. I tend not to dwell too much on it though, as I feel vinyl is where it's at. No, Not the majority of the new stuff, but the older records from say 1950's to the late 80's...
