    Idk man. Show someone some cymbals on a 128kbps track and it sounds like someone crumpling a plastic bag via a tin can connected to a string. In contrast flac is going to sound much more natural.

    I’d agree with you regarding 320 and flac - most people are gonna have a hard time differentiating.

      With the usual psychoacoustic model of MP3 if you can hear the difference between 320 MP3 and FLAC you are either lying or there’s something wrong with your speakers. It’s certain with long odds.
