Fraunhofer institute has repeatedly lined up audiophile experts, and
they've never been able to reliably tell the difference between 320k
and 256k MP3 encoding. It's all due to psychoacoustics. The algorithms
are tricky, and the li

320 kbps is the minimum for acceptable sound in my experience. Might as
well go all the way and use FLAC in such a case.
I have also found that audible MP3 artifacts are more noticeable with
certain kinds of music. It also depends on the quality of the encoding
process.

Thanks for chiming in.
It's refreshing to see that you've sailed beyond the horizon and

Eminent Audiophiles,
I have been having perfect performance from SQB for two months since
new, but tonight I noticed some very short ticks coming out of the
speakers, different pan location each time. They are like vinyl noise,
but happen only once every 5 minutes or so, random intervals, full

What's your point?
Are you saying that all systems sound the same?

OK, for people who want to do this with an SB2 - the info is as

L1 is just a jumper on my SB2 board (a solder jumper at that). I left

Remove L5 from the board. The southern pad will be your IN+ for the
