EP95 Posted June 12, 2015 Author Report Posted June 12, 2015 I kept guessing 320 mp3. i guess i'm accustomed to it so it sounds better

Krakin Posted June 15, 2015 Report Posted June 15, 2015 You will tend to guess more towards what you listen to more of as you come to think of that as sounding better. I've tested it with myself a few times and I'll listen to FLAC for a week and get 5-6/6 correct or I'll listen to pandora in my truck for a week and I'll start guess those to be better. I'm not sure what to think of it, but I'm still siding with higher quality files sound better. I do, however, need to get my receiver fixed for my home system to give it a real go and try to get them right.

Krakin Posted June 15, 2015 Report Posted June 15, 2015 They are almost all horrible selections for testing this kind of thing. Jay-Z for sound quality? Really?

reedal Posted June 15, 2015 Report Posted June 15, 2015 i got 5/6..... but i cheated... my roommates poopy router has issues sending the signal upstairs, so the .wav sample has to buffer where as the mp3's dont. figured that out after the first one. but my laptop speakers definitely suck because i could hear no difference. I dont have any SQ headphones to try though.

TRON Posted June 15, 2015 Report Posted June 15, 2015 Honesty, most people wont be able to hear the differen between 320 and uncompressed. Probably due to the shitty recording quality by a few of thoses samples and the fact that most of them have very little dynamic range. Not to mention that the test is flawed becasue it all depened on you internet speed. Avalanche Alpine Type S comps Alpine Type S 10'' Alpine MPR-F300 Alpine MRX-M50 Mechamn 270 XS Power d3400s
ChevyBoy95 Posted June 15, 2015 Report Posted June 15, 2015 5/6 one of them was luck, and the 6th i missed i guess 320.

firebirdude Posted June 15, 2015 Report Posted June 15, 2015 5/6 using a 2.1 Harman Kardon setup. And the one I missed I selected 320kbps. Honestly, I felt I could pick out the 128kbps one fairly easily. I think I got lucky quite bit picking between 320 and uncompressed. Extremely close. The Neil Young song was tough. Sounded like a shitty studio recording in the beginning, but the last ~8 seconds gives it away.
