Something I came across when I subscibed to WiMP: The difference between their 256 kB MP3 files and their lossless FLAC files is VERY evident.
This is quite contrary to my my previous experiences, when I converted a 96/24 Flac file down to 44.1/16 FLAC, 320 kB MP3 and 128 kB MP3. Only with the 128kB MP3 I started to hear a deterioration in SQ. All the others were just the same to me. Instances like the WiMP case are certainly food for those promoting higher resolution quality - which is fine as long as it doesn't go beyond the theoretically possible audible, which is CD quality. I am convinced that WiMP is doing this deliberately in order tho promote their higher quality streaming subscription. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ foxx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36364 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101386 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
