[QUOTE="gbyleveldt, post: 361955, member: 122"] When encoding MP3: 1. Look for 'similar enough' bits between two channels 2. Look for 'similar enough' bits across each channel 3. Bandwidth limit the signal. 4. Cut back the total dynamic range and apply compression. The above list is not speculation or subjective opinion, it's a fact based on the MP3 compression scheme. Granted, it's a gross oversimplification, but the items above are the key things that sets dacs apart. You are looking for the 3D soundstage and MP3 get it's compression abilities by throwing those subtle ques away. [/QUOTE]
