ah - OK. Following this reasoning, it should be easier to hear FLAC vs Mp3 using tracks that pre-date such things. However, whilst I do agree that many CD's are mastered way too hot these days and there is too much brick-wall limiting going on, it doesn't affect every disc! One thing to try - get an old track that has a lot of residual tape hiss on it...see what MP3 does to that... -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal... ...SB3+TACT+Altmann+MF DACXV3/Linn tri-amped Aktiv 5.1 system and some very expensive cables ;o) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Phil Leigh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=85 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39112 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
