The funniest part, by far, is their common retort of 'let me guess. I'd hate to know that a simple selection of AAC instead of FLAC (entirely a choice of mine) yielded music which is the weakest link in my set up. Then you can focus on improving everything else in your 'chain' when you find yourself with money to spend. Rip it in lossless once and for all and then you never have to worry about it. With the cost of storage these days, it is a huge surprise that people would even consider lossy storage. Law of diminishing returns and all that jazz. Nothing is ever going to sound the same, period, but can and will sound very close (to the point of being indistinguishable) as you climb here up the ladder. Not looking to point fingers or anything, but it's usually the headphone kiddies arguing that you can't tell the difference. What the **ll are they listening to? Normally, this closely follows the thread about howĪll properly designed amps and dacs should sound the same.Īhh, so you see the same garbage on the other usual forums that I do? Glad to see I'm not the only one. The internet is full of ramblings about how lossless doesn't sound better than lossy. Lot's of dynamic range in there along with deep bass and good treble. 'Borrowed' music will have to stay in MP3-320 until it can be purchased or 're-borrowed'.Ĭall me crazy, but I have come to believe that World Music and New Age are just as good if not better for demo-ing than Jazz and Classical. I am glad I re-ripped all my CDs in FLAC that I own.

I'm sure a better DAC would yield even better quality overall, it's still strong enough to expose the weaknesses of lossy encoded music. While I previously believed this cheap Bluetooth device was the weakest link in my system so encoding wouldn't be discernible - well, I was wrong.

I can't even tell the difference between Youtube's audio (which is god awful, even at their 'HD standard') and FLAC on my laptop's speakers.īut streaming from my Laptop on Bluetooth to my Logitech DAC, I can tell. Considering most Americans listen on crappy systems or for background only it's no wonder they can't tell the difference.

Of course on a crappy system or for listening to music as background probably hard to distinguish. FLAC is lossless so it should sound better given a system that is half-way decent.
