[QUOTE="Scubadude, post: 875154, member: 17459"] My observations based on earlier SoundLiaison / Blue Coast format comparison downloads: - 320 kbps MP3 sound pretty decent and is good enough for most uses and users (present company excluded) - well produced 16-bit 44.1 kHz FLAC is 95% there, maybe even higher. - I can hear very slight improvement up to 96 kHz in terms of "naturalness" which I find more noticeable when reducing sampling rate (i.e. what is missing) - DSD has no inherent advantage from a sound quality point of view [/QUOTE]
