16 bit when done correctly has enough dynamic range

that said, if youre doing digital volume control it might be an issue, im still not entirely sure there

tbh i cant tell the difference between 320 mp3 and flac so 🤷

nah it won't be a issue

if your dac is set at 24 bits in windows

I'll download 16 and 24 bit versions of a song and use my T2s for a/b

or 32 bits

or w/e it is

tho if that was the case you could just get your dac to upsample to 24+ bit

dont download two versions

download the 24 bit and convert

so you absolutely have the same file

youd have to be listening to a stupidly quiet master at stupidly high volumes for it to be an issue

Good idea

high bit depth is only really a practical necessity for those doing DAW work since it does a lot of layering shit

this is why i just listen to vinyl

ew

vinyl is lofi as fuck

muh "more dynamic range than digital!!!" memes

opticail cartidge though??

ya if you ignore the fucking insane noise floor

i thought that thing was already out

optical cartridges have been a thing for a while

this might be diff tho

ye looks to be some new one

oh this is a new version of that

i just dont get vinyl

```Intrigued? You better start saving. The DS W2 cartridge costs $4500 and the preamp is $8500.

if your wonderin bout pricin

the whole "ya but its all analogue" argument is true but imo the mad noise, dynamic range and inconvenience factors completely overshadow any issues digital might have

ye but its cool dude

its just spinning plastic

id rather frame it to look at lol

wheres the fun in listenin to classical

if you don't have to get up and turn it over

It's irrelevant either way, cause it's recorded from a digital source anyway these days

eh there are some purist studios who still give a shit for some reason

but yeah almost all of it will have been converted at least once

vinyl is $$$ as well

i wanna build my own tt

both in equipment

and actual records lol

eugh this song has some stupid 16k squeal

did they fucking record this next to a crt

maybe they're just deaf lol

probably

There is no point of going beyond 16 bit irl
At 85db listening you only need 75db of range.
Unless the headphones can reproduce the slight noise a falling leaf makes and the chance of your eardrums still picking it up at >18

Yes or no

Yes

neither measurement looks great

no

Basssss

No.

more bass = better

Conclusion: fuck ogg, opus is ok, and MP3/flac/opus 512 best

opus 192 is fine for vocal focused pieces

clearenuff™

i managed to tell the diff erence between 320 mp3 and flac once

i had toplay the same 0.5s snare though over and over again

the flac souded slightly crispier

yeah you gotta be a major autist to care enough

like me

i mean is it really worth it

the ~15mb more

yes

mostly for archival

files degrade on hdds anyway

ye thats why i store all my files on the cloud

the cloud consists of hdds as well tho

its not a magical thing

rly 😢

has anyone heard of "1080p HD audio"?

is it a thing?

Dunno

Is that a mic or antenna on the side?

Lmao

thats a mic. its one of those taxi-driver-style earpeices

Then yes

1080p music is good for pajeet

Doesn't need to listen to lousy 720p songs anymore

Make sure you get a hd SD card with it

Wasn't that the Super audiophile sd "without degradation" because it claimed to run some internal raid 1 bs?

isn't file degradation a complete meme that you wont event notice in a single lifespan?

it doesnt exist

the actual degredation would come from the physical chips themselves dying

similar to CD rot

aye

Samsung sd cards sound harsh and cold <:alismirk:230784726615588865>

Anyways it would take you almost 9 years to start detiorating a card by writing and wiping a 100 gb's of data on it daily

>1080p music
The chinks don't know youtube stays at ~192 max at 720p and above

I encoded my music library to my phone once at 24/32kbps 44.1khz 16 bit opus, bean me <:benis:239668961011040257>
