Really? At 128K I can do that easily, even on a crap system. Try focusing on the drums, cymbals, and audience clapping in a live concert recording. The attack is muddy and you will sometimes also hear little squeaky artifacts. AAC, by the way, tries to address this limitation with the addition of a feature called "temporal/perceptual noise shaping". I guess you do have to know what to listen for. Most people probably focus on the tone and timbre in the foreground which is where mp3 has the least difficulty. -- seanadams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74721 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
