1 year agoHD800, Corda Stack comes in at 3100 AUD retail. So probably a bit more on top of that, given entry level, in ears, gaming headphones, whatever.
Spotify VBR => Corda Stack => HD800.
I can only tell the difference on songs that I’ve extremely familiar with and am specifically looking for rather than general listening. So I don’t think it matters in a meaningful way once you hit a well encoded VBR. The specific characteristics are probably more exacerbated at 192kbit (and 128kbit), but I don’t I would be able to do it in a statistically significant way on unknown tracks for 192kbit either.
Maybe I stand a chance at 128kbit.
