Sure, as long as the HDCDs are the source for the FLACs and MP3s. Although you must realize that increasing the number of channels while maintaining a constant overall bitrate lowers the bitrate per channel, which some might just consider cheating ;) Inventing a 320,000-channel audio format is a sure way to ABX 320kbps MP3s--let's stick to CDs to avoid having to argue about this. There's three ways any discussion like this can end: 1) "Agree to disagree". Nobody other than me wants to do an ABX test, either because it's too hard or they don't think the results will be favorable (or they're waiting for some expensive equipment they'll never get ;) ) 2) Perform the ABX test, fail to distinguish the MP3s with certainty. Claim that this proves ABX testing doesn't really work (people really do this). Refuse to post your results. 3) Perform the ABX test, fail to distinguish the MP3s with certainty. Discover that it's okay to be human. Post your results here, showing humility. 4) Perform the ABX test, distinguish all of the MP3s with high certainty. Post your results here for all to see* * And then wake up, and curse loudly! -- CatBus ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CatBus's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7461 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29286 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
