You cannot trust your ears. It is naive to think your hearing is the only factor affecting what you perceive to hear. If you do not control for other factors (such as your prior conscious or subconscious beliefs about which format sounds better), there is a big risk of drawing conclusions that are spurious.
2.) I do not merely take for granted what others have found in scientific studies, either. I have done many properly set-up double-blind listening tests between lossless source and lossy encode myself. To that end, I use foobar's ABX comparator component. It's fairly easy to use. You should try it for yourself. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dafiend's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=60637 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102351 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
