like if you ever listen to a youtube video, you can hear a shit ton of pre-ringing which sounds fucking awful

maybe I'm too bigbrained to notie

yeah, of course you're gonna notice on youtube where they use 12kbps

i dunno brother, i don't listen for pre-ringing, just the composition of the song *sips monster*

well that’s an exaggerated example

the same thing occurs with 320

or any other compressed audio format

it’s just a matter of how much

aminus do you think you can tell the difference between 190 kbps and 320?

dude i have blindtested myself for 320 and FLAC on shitty gear and i can tell the differene

well at that point isn't the quality of your speakers/headphones competing with the compression anyway

yeah, if you use apple earbuds then obv you’re not gonna tell the difference

i have enough invested into gear where the amount of money it costs for me to buy a larger microSD card is a fraction of my setup

im gonna post 2 different versions of a song, i want you to tell me the difference between 190 and 320

i can just check the bitrate lmfao

this is 190

this is flac converted to 320

both sound the same mate

exactly

also the filesize is identical

lol

because it's the fucking same file

thanks for proving my point hunny

checkmate babe

you didn't even bother transcoding the 192 to 320 just to try and bamboozle me a little

like damn

this is low effort shit

the point is, they'd sound exactly the same regardless

just imagine one is 320

the point is that you sent the same file twice you retard

and both files sound like shit

no, the point is that you listened to both

to try to tell the nuances

pleb

i listened to both for a grand total of like 10 seconds

oh no the horror

more than enough time to differentiate the qualities

if you could

One deal is counted here I’m currently at 6.5
