This is the second instance this week I've seen of such a report. There's a dire TV show in the UK called "The Gadget Show", and they did a comparison of Dark Side of the Moon from Vinyl, CD and an iPod. It was blind, but quite possibly not level-mached. No mention of the exact format or bitrate used on the iPod (they did keep talking about MP3, but my guess is that it could quite easily have been AAC).
Both participants preferred the iPod over the other two. The test was clearly unscientific, and I wouldn't take any of this show's conclusions about technology more seriously than those of the guy in PC World, but I find it interesting that they did come out in favour of the iPod - especially over the CD. Maybe it was just a bit louder. -- cliveb Transporter -> ATC SCM100A ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61160 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
