it is not the DAC because i use my CD player as a DAC for the SB3. i *definitely* hear a difference between FLACs played through the SB3's DAC and the original CD, but I was talking about controlled listening with different digital formats played through an identical DAC. i do not have the luxury (or the interest) in setting up a lab for psychoacoustics in my listening environment, so i have always been the first to question some of the things i *think* i hear at times when it comes to the audiophile shrine. :-) in a nutshell: well-ripped 320k mp3s sounds pretty darn awesome. in my opinion, the original recording is a gating factor more often than not. but with extreemly well recorded stuff one can discern the difference between FLAC and the psychoacoustic shortcuts MP3 takes. -- pablolie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51021 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
