It is hard to tell the difference between 320 kbps and lossless, especially when you're enjoying the music. beyersmile.png

 

I and my bro did a blind test and I always know which one is lossless.

Where would the differences between the players originate? Each of these players sends the exact same information (presuming that you are being consistent with either lossless or lossy) to your DAC or headphone out. Your only difference will be UI. If you are hearing differences, its possible that you may need to spend some time ensuring your musics digital signal in your computer is not being interfered with from external programs on its venture to its conversion into analog, not related to the player itself. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't see how there could possibly be a difference between players so long as the source is of the same quality and bit perfect to the conversion.

Same, but I use foobar for VST bridging with better equalizers. Itunes' equalizer is craptastic.

For the entire day I've been trying to connect to foobar2000.org. It's just not working for me. Does everyone else experience the same thing?

Just what the hell is going on?! I still cannot get on. I browsed foobar2000.org 2 days ago and it was fine. It is literally the only website I cannot access right now. Do you think it's a regional thing? cuz I live in Canada.

I use Foobar2000 for flac, and iTunes for 320kbps mp3s.
