i know this wasn't directed at me. but just got it in FLAC. very high quality song. too many of my other songs have too many instruemtns going on at the same time. that's why i love asian music
the difference in FLAC and 320 is pretty small. more hearable/noticable on high end audio equipment. however on mine. i can tell bc of less "artifacts" in the music at certain times. these "Artifacts" become more apparent at higher volumes. when the singers voice pops or has some crackle in it(not driver damage) that's also when. and the background and main music..just doesn't sound as...well it just doesn't roll off as smooth. like the ending of ichiban no takaramono with the instruemtns. you can hear some...."Artfacts" in 320
I was gonna upload the few flacs I have for you, but stopped when I read that you have got it somewhere. Musics like angel beats! ost are pretty rare nowadays, Jpop and Kpop are approaching english pop, more electronic sounds, less real instruments etc. Chinese pop is too starting to go that direction, but still maintains a big chunk of RnB or soft rock emotional songs. For a person who doesnt really like club/dance genres, it is pretty sad to see that trend.
Sadly, my ears arent sensitive enough to tell the difference. That doesnt stop me from enjoying music though.
