I don't think it's as simple as that. MP3 uses a psychoacoustic model to decide which spectral information to retain. VBR gives it the additional freedom to "concentrate" on certain parts of the file, so it might well allow the differences to be greater in parts of the file where they matter less, for example because the power is mostly in some frequency range in which human hearing is less sensitive. Can you hear the difference (in either file) from FLAC? -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32576 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
