When the highest quality file of a song you can find is 320kbps mp3: you download it and instantly tell its source was below 192kbps. I guess this probably belongs in the QQ thread. God its been a long day.

You know you are an audiophile when you stop going for the headphone with the best clarity or sound quality and just go for a headphone that pleases your tastes the most.

You know you're an audiophile when you know that there are two different kinds of compression, and that, though not inherently bad, applied tastelessly they can both ruin your music.
 
(Sadly, if it's volume compression, there might not be anything you can do about it).

figured this would be a good place to ask. If i want to learn how dac's and amps work and how they affect heaphones the way they do, is there a guide somewhere or where would i start?
