[QUOTE="Robert_E, post: 41849, member: 853"] Thanks Ken, I just needed some more motivation to get a more powerful amp ;) As for certain people not hearing it could be the same situation as with MP3's. Some say they cannot hear a difference between 128Kbps and the higher bit rates but when I was in high-school I did some testing comparing CD's to MP3's I encoded at different bit rates. I decided back then that I'd encode at a minimum of 192Kbps. And I CAN hear the artifacting in low bitrate mp3's (mostly). I cannot really find fault with standard Dolby Digital but I guess it's still a lossy codec and it'll be interesting to do a comparison myself. [/QUOTE]
