A SHOCKING DISCOVERY ABOUT DIGITAL AUDIO


This might come as a shock, not in a bad way but I have discovered that 320KBPS MP3 is actually bit perfect. Shocking isnt it? That does not mean the quality is the same as CD. It is not. You have been warned the master has spoken.

The second shocking discovery i have made recently is that i can actually hear the difference between 320kbps and wav. I never thought i could do it but i heard it. 

Can anybody do what i have done?  I dare any of you audiophiles

The OP is misunderstanding what "bit perfect" means.  If I play something from my Plex Server on my MSB DAC, that file will be "bit perfect," i.e., the file on the Plex Server is the same file being played on the MSB DAC.  But just because I can play a file from my Plex Server to my MSB DAC "bit perfect," does not mean that, as OP apparently suggests, an MP3 file is "bit perfect" to the same file on a CD.  Obviously that is not the case, as an MP3 is a lossy format and therefore by definition cannot be "bit perfect" to the original file on the CD.

@dill: Your comment at the top of this thread reminds me, the owner of a fishing trawler based in Gloucester, Massachusetts, that I’m in need of a crew member who’s skilled at prepping fishing lines for deployment - in other words, I’m on the lookout for a Master Baiter.

The responses are almost hysterically funny.  Wow, a really funny forum here!  Masterbaiter is Kenjit-I love it!
