Just to explain where these numbers come from, CD audio is: 2 channels *16 bits per sample *44100 samples per second ______ 1,411,200 bps
Lossless compression usually gets 40% file size reduction which is how you get numbers in the 800-900kbps range. Unlike mp3, aac etc, with lossless compression you get whatever it can get - you never tell it what bitrate to output. Some lossless compressors take a setting which tells it "how hard to try". This usually gives tiny improvements in compression for very large increases in compression time. -- seanadams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26031 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
