Even though you can’t tell the differences.

Absolutely not lol
Yes. And I oversampling every song I listen to, because someone told me I should do this for better sound quality. Even though I can’t tell the differences…
Yes, then I convert to opus 255kbps and delete the og file.
When I purchase song, it comes as FLAC.
Can’t be bothered to convert it, so just use it as is. Storage is fairly cheap anyway compared to all the money I spent for the gear.Yeah, of course.
320 is enough. /Thread
Yep, FLAC or nothing for me. Regardless of whether I can hear a difference or not, why choose lossy when lossless is the same price. The storage space argument died years ago when you can get storage for super cheap.
Of course I can, the difference between 320 & FLAC is obvious and very noticeable, what a clueless thing to say. What I can’t tell the difference between is FLAC & TR24 so I don’t bother with that.
Not always. I had Dark side of the moon in DSD 256 but then found digitised copy of Japanese vinyl in flac 96/24 and it sounded so much better. If you can it always better to download it in highest resolution but it probably depends on soure(CD, SACD, vinyl or tape)
I can tell the difference. Granted, I think it largely depends on the music compositions themselves.And even then, admittedly, it’s not a HUGE OMG WOW difference even when it’s FLAC. But it’s at the very least cleaner sounding IMO.
No you can’t.
I’d bet a lot of money that’s 100% placebo and you’d fail a frequency test.
Most people can’t even tell the difference between regular lossless on a frequency test.
Stop giving into your own placebo. You’re claiming you can tell a difference on music which was recorded on lower quality microphones than what you think you’re listening at
Or are you a dog?
I agree that anything beyond 44.1Khz isn’t able to be heard because that value DOES correlate to OBJECTIVE frequency ranges. That being said, what is the difference in larger kbps amounts with lossless doing then? Data degradation over long-term storage? stability of audio signal? I really do want to learn more about all this.
You can’t even hear half of 44.1khz unless you’re not human. Differentiating bit rates above 16 require lab conditions, being a professional trained listener and being blasted with severe hearing damage levels of audio in 1-2 second snippets - That gets better than a coin flip. Sometimes. There is no exception to this. None. You do not hear anything different because it’s impossible. The human ear has limitations regarding frequencies and resolutions and these would be within those limitations.
Yes, but because I’m downloading anyways. I lower quality if it’s a long song and don’t really like it that much
If I didn’t want the highest quality audio files I’d just stream it through spotify
No, I just use spotify for simplicity and ive tried multiple times to hear a difference between it and flac
if i can, then yes. tho i wont go the “extra mile” (=paying) just to get a higher quality file. ripping my stuff straight from youtube is enough for me
Same. I can hear the difference between lossless and YT when I listen to it side by side, I even hear the difference between 128kbps mp3 and lossless, if the mix is good. Of course, that is with good headphones.
But if I play sound through my lo-fi system at home, then no, I can’t really tell.
For me it’s convenience above sound quality to a certain degree. I want to spend the time I would’ve spent sourcing high quality files on actually listening to my music. If it’s just a setting on my streaming app and I’m on wifi then it’s a no brainer. Why wouldn’t you choose the highest quality?
