I built a simple CMoy amp a while back, and never actually soldered everything together. So tonight I plugged it in, and one of the terminals going to the headphone jack came loose, and the "center" channel was knocked out, sort of like if you don't plug the jack all the way in. However, I noticed something odd. When I played an mp3 at 128kbps, the artifacting was almost the only thing you could hear. 192kbps, when played normally, sounds pretty close or the same as the CD, or at least to me it does. However, with the jack messed up, I could still hear some artifacting. When compared to the same song at 320kbps or .wav, there was no artifacting at all. To me, though, connected properly, they sounded the same. Just thought it was interesting, and could be a way to tell if your music is encoded at high quality or not.
Edit: It also works just not plugging the jack in all the way too.
