A Small Test To See How Much Of An Audiophile You REALLY Are

[ssully]

I got 2/6.

One thing: I never guessed the 128 option
Another thing: I don't think the Suzanne Vega example belongs (don't think the human voice sounds all that different in these kind of tests...I got that one wrong)

Unaccompanied human voice is one of the best signals for audio 'fidelity'. We're exquisitely attuned to their sound.

Yet another thing: this pretty much convinced me 320 Mp3 is good enough; I don't need .wav or FLAC files to enjoy the music.

320 kbps properly encoded should be 'transparent' to most people on most gear with most signals.

But if you ever need to re-compress with a lossy codec, you're better off starting with a lossless version.

I got 3/6, but the one I could really only tell was the first classical one. But not a huge difference on most of them.

yes indeed... that was the easiest to find IMHO

I never doubted a single second on that one.
