Cytat:

I'm using a $1300 DAC and I can barely tell the difference between FLAC, WAV, and 320 kbps mp3. The difference it small enough that I don't bother to give a dam and rip everything into mp3. Saves space and allows easier playback on MP3 players. I wouldn't bother doing a blind test. You hear more differences from everyday changes in hearing than 320kbps vs. lossless.

But the difference between my $200 DAC vs. my $1300 DAC is huge. There were certain details that I can not hear with the cheaper DACs. Soundstage is also much smaller.

Cytat:

"When MP3 files talk about frequency sampling rates of 44.1 kHz, they are not talking about how high or low the notes are. They are talking about the quality of the audio file.

For example, CDs typically cover an audio range of 20 Hz (very low sounds) to 20,000 Hz (very high sounds). But the sampling rate on a CD is 44.1 kHz. In essence that means that every second of sound that goes by, that sound is sampled 44,100 times. The mathematical properties of waves cause the maximum frequency recorded at this rate to be around 22,000 Hz. Since even the most accurate human ear only hears up to around 20,000 Hz, and most adults only hear up to 14,000 Hz or even lower, this is more than enough to cover a human ear's range."
