Do you hear the difference? A test
Mar 25, 2008 at 5:26 AM Post #3 of 139
i got it wrong! granted i am at noisy work without the home rig,i usually look for how cymbals sound and there was a lack of them till later, and they were slowly hit instead of faster songs where i can easily tell. i dont think this song was a very good choice.

what did you guys look for? i felt like it captured the tone and the harmonics of the voice fairly well.

anyways, ABX tests of a bunch of songs are better

lol, wrong here too(d1000's powered straight from onboard audio). It'd make me feel better to know that other headfier's get this wrong as well though

Funny, I got it right..... Congratulations....

I actually almost got it wrong until I turned up my 280 pros a bit. Then I heard something familiar to my ears from alot of mixing I do..... Glad I got it right, I would have felt bad....no joke.

I was thinking it was comparing an MP3 to a FLAC or wav sample. I had no clue it was comparing ..... I won't spoil it.

I got it right. I heard a slight difference in the quality of his voice, it was more defined in the first. Beyond that, I just guessed.

Note: I was using some SJ3's, not the best on the market, but not THAT bad.

Got it right. If you listen carefully to the last two notes one clip distorts more. Both clips were of extreme poor quality.

I got it right too,the higher rate sample sounds "denser".

I got it right on the first try. If you listen to the castanets, they sound more "live" and crisp in the 320 clip. That was on the MacBook's speakers, too, not headphones.

wrong...only cause it was a flash player going thru my onboard to speakers, instead of thru my av-710 HQ out & dt770

I was right, but I ATB it a dozen times before choosing.

Pretty compressed dynamic range on the clip which I think made it nearly impossible.

What would make an interesting web page would be to prompt the user tp upload a choosen WAV clip, make a 128K mp3 copy and feed it back AxB blind. I'm pretty sure I'd have an easier time picking, but maybe not ? If someone made a page like that I'm sure I'd burn several hours on it.

I can't tell much difference using my onboard soundcard. Got it wrong...

If only he compared the 192 to wav.
