Well, now that's a totally different story, isn't it? However, my experience is that over time when quality of one part of a system improves then others improve as well: if all your steaming client can reproduce is 160kbps mp3 there's little sense for high resolution speakers and so on.
I remember very well to have participated in a listening test 13 years ago in which nobody was able to tell apart 256 Kbps mp3 from a raw CD signal. I still have the demo files and on my current setup I _am_ able to tell apart at least some of the tracks - admittedly that doesn't mean I will then know which one is mp3 and which one is raw, but that, again, is a different story. But maybe my ears simply got worse over the years to a point where it's now easier to tell mp3 from the original music. --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 7, the Universal App for iOS 7* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101924 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
