Really so you can ace this test no problemo?
Thx, this was an easy way to test this out! Pretty much confirmed what I already thought I knew. The nice booming base in Dark Horse threw me off :-) but I managed to get 5/6 correct. Listened with UMC404HD powering my ATH-M50x, which makes its literally HUNDREDS of dollars of equipment. When I power those headphones off my phone via apple DAC, I don't think it would be audible. How did you do on this test?
Maybe. I'll give it a shot later...
All's I know is I've been slowly replacing my 320 mp3 catalog with flac and certain albums are night and day difference. Usually ones with a lot going on. Try comparing wintersun - time in mp3 vs flac. The instrument separation is way better
There could be a metric fuckton of reasons why the file on your computer and the file you downloaded from a store sound different, but the codec most definitely is not one of them, assuming they are good first gen lossy encodes.
This dude is scared that he'll find that he can't tell the different between high and low bitrate and completely invalidate his reason for storing FLACs.
