For the sake of the OP, let me say that I fully agree and would love to get the 192k version of Pandora on my multiple SB equipment.
On the subject of increased quality, any well recorded jazz or classical album will truly allow one to hear the difference between 128k MP3 and the original. The difference between 256k/320k and the original will be much harder to detect unless you are very familiar with the original and know your MP3 artifacts (typically a hissy nature in the highs, sometimes even pre-echo and similar), but it can be detected. But, again, it takes a good recording and familiarity with it. >From listening to Pandora 128k and 192k streams, I can attest to the fact the 192k stream seems less tiring. Mind you, the 128k channel sounds great for an Internet radio channel - but if we can get more, why not? It is in the nature of the digital consumer to demand a lot for free, and the impossible if we pay a subscription - add that to the cluetrain manifesto. :-D -- pablolie ...pablo Server: Shuttle X27D - Ubuntu 9.04 - SBS 7.4.1 Sources: SB3 (3), SB Boom (3), Duet, Accuphase DP65v CD Amplifier: Accuphase E306v - Creek OBH21/22 Loudspeakers: Ceeroy 3-way tower (tuned) - Audioengine 5/S8 - Acoustic Energy Aego M Headphones: Grado SR-1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71602 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
