Well there is no such thing as "more deeply encoded" in FLAC world. Encoding result is one approximation function regardless of encoding level. The complexity of approximation function is quite stable across encoding levels but not constant. (Higher FLAC encoding level simply means that encoder puts more effort into finding better approximation function for the given signal.) -- Bytec ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bytec's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17676 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77080 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
