In my own experience telling the difference is largely a matter of knowing what the artifacts sound lik, identifying a place in a track where they are relatively easy to hear, and listening to that spot very carefully. I doubt audiophiles will be any better at that than anyone else that goes to the trouble to do it, which is why I'm curious to read firedog's reference. > And over time i had many "mp3 is sh**" listeners that couldn´t tell me > if it is the mp3 or wav when burned back to cd. > I think i am a very critical listener and try to avoid to fool myself. > That isn´t easy cause it happens pretty fast. It's actually really amazing how easy it is to fool yourself, and how often it happens. The human brain is a very sophisticated virtual reality generator.... that's what makes DBTs for audibility both essential and pretty interesting in their own right. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82067
