Do you mean lossy compressed files like mp3 or wma? Or do you mean compressed the say radio music is compressed so all the music sounds equally loud? lossy compression only aim to sound "pretty good" on normal consumer systems, much like FM radio. They remove signals that are 'unimportant' Let us know what you hear with flac or other lossless or raw files. -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
