There's a new live Springsteen download on live. Bruce Springsteen.net and it's being offered 24/192 flac and alac. Given they used the same source for both and they did, which format is best? Usually it would be flac but is it in this case? It's the Cleveland '78 show. They found the masters...

I've been thinking about buying a bluray audio disc and ive wondered if my pioneer bdp-120 can play back that format. Can it?

I'm not sure how bad a thing this is but Elton John Goodbye Yellow Brick Road from HD Tracks is showing up with 71% compression in Winamp. It plays back in Winamp, not Media monkey, go figure. I found out in properties that the files are compressed. But they're flac files! compressed? WTH?

I'd love to audition gear at meets. Maybe make my iPad sound semi .... I said semi.... Respectable :)
