So I have a pretty good mobile listening setup with chord mojo+poly with a few high end iems and I discovered something strange.
It seems when I listen to modern music that has been loudness boosted and devoided of dynamic range actually sounds abit better and smoother on 320kbs mp3 than flac.
I dont know why that is but it seems cuz the dynamic range is already killed there isnt any obvious benefit to lossless quality, instead flac seems to introduce more glare and abit sharped edges.
Again im not talking about well recorded music here where lossless will have a clear advantage. Have anyone else who listened to modern music on their hifi gear also noticed this.../
