Nah this is bullshit. Even on my $100 edifer speakers you can easily tell the difference.
Type of music matters though. For metal flac is totally worth it. With ambient music you aren't going to hear a difference obviously.
Really so you can ace this test no problemo?
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.
