    >literally reposted his own older s--- tier argument
    >"hueh how tf did i backpedal???? :OO"

    don't you have more titles to ridicule and more excuses to make up (for not getting a real job, that is)

    like not only are u ridiculing my work by calling urself a graphic designer, you're also disrespecting anyone who actually works with digital sound, from producers to technicians... f--- it even part time radio hosts are above your level, b/c at least they dont monitor their stuff by shoving skullcandy earbuds up their a------

    It depends on the type of flac dude

    24bit flac on even a pair of s-----y earbuds is retardly different from say... 256 aac etc

    16bit flac on the other hand nah. I mean. If you DO go out of your way. I mean i guess its worth it to download just for the f--- of it. Or for collections. But yea theres not much audible difference in say 16.44.1 flac because its literally on the same spectrum as say... 320 cbr 44.1hz

    Bleh. Rare s--- post from me on this subject (audio) but i mean its all opinion. Amd certain factors. If you have the extra hdd space etc. or if ur rocking a ipod classic lol

    Chill fam. Sone ppl just dont hear it. Or arent in the situation (in room, headphones pcs) etc to have the same experience

    You know as well as i. For someone USED to quality music wont notice an increase as likely a decrease. Ydb prolly obviously hasnt had much experience as far as quality imo. Its hard to distinguish 44hz flac files with 44hz mp3

    i mean obv @ 256 gonna notice some differences between it and flac (s--- i notice them with 256 against 320), but i'm only really talking about modern 320 vs flac, not anything lower than that.. cause with 320 it's basically near perfect. going higher than that is just getting nit picky imo, which is fine if it's what you want i guess... i just don't see the point, especially with the price of space and compatibility (which is a big issue for me), that and availability.

    also, if ur systems not balling, then good luck even hearing whatever minute differences that may or may not really be there

    It depends on the genre but with hip hop soundscapes I don't see how anyone can miss the difference. With 320, you usually hear kicks, snares, open hats, other primary percussion and leads jump out of the mix. With lossless it's like every sound has their own unique frequency range, instead of everything under a certain point just melting together into a soup. With ambient albums like Barter 6, this makes a world of difference.

    I usually listen with ATH M50x's which are a higher mid price range, or a system of Argon 7460A with a Argon SUB10 (10" sub). They're all relatively cheap, it's not like i put insane amounts of money into my setup.

    I've yet to find an album where i have problems telling the difference between lossless and mp3 320.

    It depends on the specific compression between 320 and 256. For example you could have some s--- method to create 320 but Apple's 256 sounds pretty good. There are so many different variables involved in finding the "best" format.

    Pied piper...5.2 wiessman score. It takes something big, and makes it little. True lossless compression.

    true, apple 256 generally pretty niiiiiice

    often end up leaving newer itunes copies alone and not bothering for 320, unless something seems off
