As a home-recording artist, I understand the difference in theory of lossless and compression algorithms. I submit lossess files to my producer because he only takes losseless. That being said, on my two Behringer TRUTH B2030As I can't for the life of me hear any difference. I can tell the jangle sound of less than 128, but I've done back to back comparisons of flacs vs 192 mp3, and it's just not audible. Even on my own music. -- FredFredrickson ------------------------------------------------------------------------ FredFredrickson's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16584 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75622 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
