That's the real audiophile :) I remember these discussions few years ago, but since HDTracks began mass selling of high-rez content online, I think the outcome is clear.. BTW, there might be difference between FLAC and WAV, just search here on forum. I personally heard clicks and some certain piece of hardware when playing high bitrate FLAC.. -- michael123 Big 'thank you' to AndyG for fixing #15209, #15693, #16442, #16760 :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ michael123's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23745 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85280 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
