FLAC vs 320kbps MP3. Can you really hear the Difference?

[megatoollica]

Audiophile or Audio Fooled?

Can you really hear the difference between FLAC file and 320kbps MP3 file?

Worth it ba magdownload ng tig 50Mb na FlAC file kaysa 320kbps MP3 file?

Or bumili ng Super HD High End na DAP/DAC/Speakers na kaya magplay ng 44kHz music? Remember, the human hearing range in Hz (hertz) usually includes sounds between 20 Hz and 20,000 Hz (20 kHz). Higher than that ay di na maririnig.

So, for me, 320kbps na MP3 file is the perfect balance between quality and file size.

Cant really hear the difference unless may mahal ka din na device.

 

[hermayne]

Kaya nga, depende din sa device. Curious ako dyan dati ngayon 320kbps na lang ako

Halimbawa mayron kang super high end na Headphones at DAC. The question is yung lossless na file ba mismo yung nagcontribute sa enhanced na sound quality or yung mamahalin mong devices?

May eksa900 headset ako i can see the deference sa 320kbps sa flac. pag flac ka rinig mo ibang instrument at ganda ng bass klaro kahit malakas yung volume hindi ma sakit sa tenga tapos walang buzz sound pag malakas na. Yun lang nman napansin ko. .

Hard to tell, but it is based on Use Cases. If you were to save space, and has low-end Headphones/Equipment... i'm going for MP3.

However if you were to use FLAC, i'd rather use the uncompressed WAV (both used by professionals, and studios)

May mga platforms ba ngayon na gumagamit ng uncompressed wavs? Or any way to download it?

Eksa e900 is not even considered a high end audiophile na headset

320kbps mp3 ok na sakin. kasi wala naman akong high end audio devices

hindi mo talaga mararamdaman difference unless may high-end audio system ka

Kahit iplay mo pa sa high end na headphones with dac na high end, mahirap pa rin idifferentiate yung pagkakaiba ng flac at 320.

i'm using LG quad dac phone with basic chinese earphones KZ TRN Vido Faaeel
pero may ibang kalangsing talaga kapag FLAC, iba talaga output nya.
default and no enhancement sa settings.

Did you compare the same song na flac at 320 mp3? What's the difference?

may difference talaga flac at 320.. kahit sa normal headset iba talaga tunog nang mga instruments kapag flac nakapalinaw ng tunog ng gitara at bass.. at may mga details(sound effects, percussion, etc.) na maririnig mo sa flac na di mo maririnig or mapapansin masyado sa 320.. bale mas detalyado ang flac compara sa 320.. para sakin iba talaga ang feels mo sa togtog basta flac sarap sa feeling ..lalo na siguro kapag high end yung equipment mo..

tips: try niyo mag download ng same song, flac (yung legit ha kasi yung iba is converted lang) at 320 mp3.. dun mo ma cocompare ang pinagkaiba..
