Poll of the Day > you won't be able to notice the difference between .flac and .mp3

(+) Yeah! (+)

unless you have a really good soundcard, powered speakers, and good quality headphones with a headphone amp

So I will notice.

I can't notice a difference between 320k lossy and lossless, but I've been told it depends on how the music was mastered. Regardless, I'd say the difference is so miniscule that it doesn't even matter.

I can notice the difference between mp3s I converted from FLACs and mp3s I converted from Youtube videos.

Sigh, I suppose I should do something about those crap quality songs in my library but it's just so much work.

I have a 2nd gen Fiio X3 and Wired Sennheiser HD1s (free from the company after they fucked up a repair on my Momentums, noice) and the difference between 128k mp3s and lossless stuff is beyond noticeable

If you can't tell the difference, yo ears is borked

Youtube has horrible audio bitrate, something 128k or 192k, even at the highest video resolution.

But compare 320k and lossless. Even the difference between 128k and 320k is easily noticeable. 128k is just garbage.
