It's quite hard for me to hear the difference between 256k WMA and 128K AC3 when listening to music on the plane, through my noise canceling headphones. And that's an understatement. :-) It's quite easy for me to batch convert my flac files to 128K AC3. But I'd still like to see a real comparison between those formats, WITH blind listening tests. Just because I'm curious. -- jmourik ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jmourik's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7123 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44532 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
