I feel like I can hear the difference. Always did even back when cd's first
came out. There are for sure better/higher quality formats now. But you get
into streaming issues with the size differences. Satellite radio is one
industry that streams low-quality. I don't know what format they use, but it
sux.
I bet there's a higher tier service you can pay for that is lossless or at
least better. But it seems like im listening to a 128k mp3 when i listen to
Sirius. When i flip to a CD or FM it's like night and day difference.

So i canceled my subscription.


FLAC is an excellent format.
I won't rip songs to mp3 and I won't download music if its under 320kbps
because like you said, you can notice it.

Funny, audiophiles seem to swear by analog. I do too.
There's a certain warmth, hum, ambience from recordings made pre-digital that
give body to the songs you don't hear when you play their digital versions on
the same equipment.


Thanks,
