The internet is full of ramblings about how lossless doesn't sound better than lossy. Lot's of dynamic range in there along with deep bass and good treble. 'Borrowed' music will have to stay in MP3-320 until it can be purchased or 're-borrowed'.Ĭall me crazy, but I have come to believe that World Music and New Age are just as good if not better for demo-ing than Jazz and Classical. I am glad I re-ripped all my CDs in FLAC that I own. I'm sure a better DAC would yield even better quality overall, it's still strong enough to expose the weaknesses of lossy encoded music. While I previously believed this cheap Bluetooth device was the weakest link in my system so encoding wouldn't be discernible - well, I was wrong.
I can't even tell the difference between Youtube's audio (which is god awful, even at their 'HD standard') and FLAC on my laptop's speakers.īut streaming from my Laptop on Bluetooth to my Logitech DAC, I can tell. Considering most Americans listen on crappy systems or for background only it's no wonder they can't tell the difference. Of course on a crappy system or for listening to music as background probably hard to distinguish. FLAC is lossless so it should sound better given a system that is half-way decent.
