| External HD VS Flash Drive Sound Quality Question It's been a bit frustrating how long it's taking me to do a series of comparisons. Combination of life, & I'm also a movie fan. While my main system is optimized for music (& is stereo, NOT 5.1); I also use it for film. For the sake of the... | |
| External HD VS Flash Drive Sound Quality Question I had my first (non counterfeit) Flash Drive die tonight. It was a 3 week old Lexar, which WAS my go to brand.It was 64 gb, Anecdotally they seem to die more often than smaller ones do. Fortunately, all files were backed up on 3 separate hard driv... | |

I so far haven't heard much difference with 44/16, though.I need to spend more time before I make that state... | |
