The subject of high bitrate MP3 and FLAC comparisons has been covered at great length on these boards. I personally use DBPoweramp LAME VBR -v0 -q0 for ripping as I have devices that don't do FLAC. In my own comparisons I can't tell the difference. One of the best threads on these boards on this subject is the results of a double blind test done by a user on these boards, @archimago; https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?98010-RESULTS-Blind-Test-MP3-vs-Lossless-out-now
This multi part blog post covers all the info on how the test was done and the results of the testing; http://archimago.blogspot.com/2013/02/high-bitrate-mp3-internet-blind-test.html Main system - Rock Solid with LMS 7.9.1 Official on WHS 2011 - 2 Duets and Squeeseslave Cabin system - Rock solid with LMS 7.9.1 Official on Win10 Pro - 1 RPi 3 Model B/Hifiberry DAC+ Pro/PiCorePlayer and Squeezeslave Headphones and car - Android phone/Bluetooth w/full library on MicroSD card - PowerAmp music player app (similar to Material Skin) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ w3wilkes's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22973 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111524 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
