“but I could hardly discern a difference between listening to an 8Mbps MQS file (“mastering quality sound”) and a 320Kbps MP3 of “Thriller.” If that makes me stupid or insensitive, so be it”
this is what happens when i listen to flac vs mp3. high end audio bothers me because the cost vs return is just not there for me. Do i want to spend 5k on a dedicated amp or just drop a couple hundred on a yamaha that does HDMI and does what i want it to. I love audio but the cost to get the good stuff is just astronomical
