Agree again.

Got it right with my d2000's out of my 2move, the highs were higher and the bass more prominent in the 320.

I heard the difference on my laptop speakers...

It's very easy to hear if you listen pavarotti's voice. Also there's a like "flanger" (correct this if you know the right word) effect in cymbals and voice (very usual in digital compression flaw and easily detect on cymbals/hi-hat). It's like a whisper/hissing outside his voice (little left and right from the middle singing position). Only low-bitrate codec which doesn't suffer these issues so much is old ATRAC3 132kbps, although there's still other compression artefacts. btw, I also used my onboard audio (gigabyte MB) with tube amp + MS2i.

Even with this help, I can't hear it. Unless it's in the first few seconds and I can switch back and forth, my memory of what the previous clip sounds like gets wiped out.

I got it right through my Proline 750 and Meier Move DAC+amp, but honestly, the difference was so subtle that I had to listen at least 5 times each. I am very surprised that 128 can sound so close to 320.

 

[Reputator]

I honestly hear none of the clipping others are refering too. Although I do hear more air and refinement of the upper and lower end frequencies in subsequent listenings of the 320kbps version. But as a result I'm thoroughly tired of that clip.

I bet the flac blows these away. Die Lossy die.

 

[Sinsen]

It is strange though. Some people can hear the difference straight away out of their laptop speaker while others, like me, are hard pressed to hear any difference at all using good equipment.

 

[craiglester]

umm yeah, i thought it was kinda easy. not bragging, just sounded very different.

I got it too... Creative Audigy Sound Card through my UE11's....

 

[brokensound]

got it right! had to listen to A a 2nd time. I listened for the cymbals and I guess it helps I have the k701. Not sure if I could tell with my DT990.

 

[Cal3257]

yay i got it right too! had to listen to it a few times. i'm using onboard audio to my friend's HD595, which i'm trying to compare to my AD700s. the castanets on the 320kbps sounded like more real instruments while on the 128 kbps, it just sounded like sounds. (articulate, i kno)

 

[AgainstTheGrain]

daym i got it wrong. i should have known better. i just plugged my hd600 right into my lil compaq notebook lol. the thing that got me was clip B was louder but clip A was more balanced. meh oh well i'm sticking to my Apple Lossless anywayz lol.

I heard the difference in 2 tries on my Koss-UR40 and Audigy 1 Value (modded).

 

[Ohji]

I got it wrong, and after listening to both clips several more times, I cannot really hear a difference between them.
