Call me crazy, but I have a hard time believing a lossy file would sound better than a lossless one.

Using mediamonkey with Flac vs Lame encoding at 320, I could definitely hear the difference. The mp3s just sounded flat and lacking in detail. I upgraded the mp3 decoder in MM to the MAD mp3 decoder and the output to ASIO. The difference is night/day! This is all just my experience, and I'm sure some will just discount it offhand, but it's my little world, and the sky can be any color I want it to be! |
