Ah - that does ring a bell. At that bitrate I can't hear a difference - I do definitely hear losses in the treble region on anything below ~192 CBR or so - classical music is historically very sensitive to compression. I just don't think lossy algorithms are good enough for high fidelity listening for this kind of music... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rod_hull's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=53725 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98526 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
