you've completely (obtusely?) missed my point. none of my experience invalidates your own, and the the reverse should be true as well. you'll recall my initial post in this thread, which simply stated that it would not surprise me if someone else can hear the difference between compressed and non-compressed files, since i've had the same experience. you, and others here, have said it's not possible, and i'm imagining what i hear. to which i'd retort, if i cared, that perhaps you should listen with more imagination. the act of listening to music, whether live or recorded, is not something one does with only one sense engaged. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ netchord's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21002 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98630 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
