I know that's what he -meant- to say - but it's not what he said. Furthermore (and it sounds like you agree) the implication he drew from it is false. The size of the file is not directly related to the quality of the sound it produces, which is obvious from the fact that FLAC and WAV produce identical outputs despite being different sizes, or from the fact that I could decode a 64kbps MP3 to a full-sized WAV file. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44532 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
