A 320 BR is supposed to keep up to about 20 Khz the end of human hearing. Age also degrades what a human ear can hear. Human ears are created equally but degrade when broken by damaging noises that are produced at a rock concert. Dogs can hear much higher frequencies than humans if I was making music for them I would have to do things differently. This is where the experts tend to disagree. However, these tones were shown to add richness to music. The sounds tend to mute out gradually instead of just cut off. Fletcher-Munson loudness phenomenon states we really can’t even hear the extreme ranges of our hearing well. Not only do the compresses the data but I believe it lowers the sample rate so that tones beyond 20,000 Hz are not reproduced accurately. I am trying to be specific to the mp3 320 BRs. You might be able to hear the difference even if you are not listening intently. I don’t doubt that someone listening intently can hear the difference if the music is fuller even if their ears are shot like mine. The DVDs can produce more sound in a hearable range because it plays more tracks. HD DVDs have much more band width than a CD and have more tracks. My question to you is can you hear the difference between a 320 BR and a FLAC.

I did state I am not sure I can even tell the difference between 160 and a CD. I have read a good deal on audio but I don’t know everything. It is possible I don’t know all the facts. I will try not to come off as a smart ass. But that doesn't mean other people shouldn't worry about it just because you can't hear it.įirst off, thanks for the reply. Obviously it's dependent on both your playback equipment and ears, and I haven't seen anyone suggest you should worry about a difference you can't hear. In fact the human ear is quite capable of distinguishing between not only CD and MP3, but CD and hi-res formats like DVD-Audio. Just because your ears can't tell the difference doesn't mean no one's can. The sample rate for a CD exceeds what a human can hear. I figure at 320 BR (twice that rate) I certanly can't tell. I am not so sure I can tell the difference between a 160 BR and a CD. I know I can hear the difference between a 128 BR and a CD. Anyone exposed to load noises for long can't hear tones that high. This is was a child or a jungle person can hear. I believe they faithfully store up to 20,000 htz tones. I capture as a wave but eventually store as a 320 mp3. However, I would never edit a tune even if it had a pop in it due to it was a vinyl capture. Granted the Flac stores 4 times the data but if you can't hear the difference why keep something 4 times bigger, just for grins? I know if you wish to edit and save a lossy format of anything resolution is lost. I have never gotten a reply let alone a good explaination. I have asked this question on many threds discussing FLAC files hear and in other audio forums. I am still trying to find someone that can give me an intelligent reason why I should play a FLAC file instead of convert to 320 BR mp3. Please Visit our Guide Section and Discussion Forums.

It would be a good article for our forum users to show to anybody asking about FLAC, as it is only a few steps to setup your software to be capable of playing FLAC audio just like MP3. The article covers simple methods to play FLAC including built-in support for VLC & Foobar 2000, but more importantly covered configurations to get FLAC audio playing on DirectShow-based players like Media Player Classic and Windows Media Player, the latter which also shows how to add support for FLAC audio tags in the Media Library.
