And exactly what are you listening to your music on? The
majority of my music collection is high VBR MP3 (-q 0) where no
audible difference should exist. I do have some FLAC and the
occasional 128 to 192 CBR if they come from other sources. With
my Definitive Technology speakers, and switching between a high
end Sony ES series CD player and my Squeezebox I can't detect a
hint of difference. If you can 'barely stand' 320k I'd look at
your encoding methods or what your output is. If anything 320k
CBR is overkill and your wasting bits on whitespace.
FWIW, the Squeezebox has a 24 bit Burr Brown DAC so the output
on that is probably considerably higher than the average PC
sound card and for sure any portable audio player.
That be all,
Mr O.
