pablolie, on my humble system piano is near unbearable at 192Kbps MP3, I have not evaluated 256Kbps though. Probably it has something to do with the way it is encoded, or type of music. But it is nice that people with all sorts of opinions and conviction all love enjoying their music collection. We're a lucky bunch. -- agentsmith ------------------------------------------------------------------------ agentsmith's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1838 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21173 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
