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.
