It's not a fair comparison, since the 128k stream is MP3 encoded whereas the 1411 stream is uncompressed. For example, you could stream a CD at about half that bitrate (e.g. 705 kbps or so) using FLAC encoding, with absolutely no loss in quality, since FLAC is a lossless encoding method. There's no sense in directly comparing bitrates between two different encoding methods (e.g. compressed vs. not, or even MP3 vs. AAC vs. OGG) without also discussing the sonic characteristics of each stream. -- jamietre ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jamietre's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8794 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30256 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
