What is a "gating factor"? As far as I'm aware errors accumulate. I have very few CDs that are not clearly different in sound when compressed to 256 kbps MP3, BTW. Even on my iPod nano I can easily hear the difference between 224 kbps AAC (which sounds better than MP3) and apple lossless. It is especially marked with symphonies. -- P Floding ------------------------------------------------------------------------ P Floding's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2932 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21173 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
