+1 on using foobar2000 and its ABX tool to do some personal testing. I predict you'll be very surprised at the bitrate at which things are transparent for you. Given my age (and 99.9999% of us have age related hearing loss at certain frequencies), it is almost impossible for me to consistently ABX between 160kbs (or even 128 in many cases) and lossless, for most types of pop music (rock, country, etc.). That said, I do use FLAC in my home system, because I can. For my mobile devices I use LAME VBR 192kbs mp3, but that is probably overkill. p.s. I probably have no good FM stations to test, because ALL my local FM can be beat by even 64kbs streams. Not that a single one of my FM local stations has anything I want to listen to other than NPR news. -- garym ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86430 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
