good perceptual codecs (lame mp3 and AAC for example) were designed to throw away the info you can't hear (that's why these are "perceptual"...throw out the content that human beings can't hear anyhow). Don't feel bad, this is the way it is supposed to be! Very few people can pass an ABX test on high bit rate lossy vs lossless, except with problem samples. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98591 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
