[QUOTE="Toroidal, post: 1928269, member: 415933"] This was an interesting thread to summarize the main points of information that were true, namely that a relatively newer Mac will play uncompressed 192kHz audio natively, iTunes and Music are two different apps from different time periods, and nobody can tell the difference between CD quality and audiophile quality except people who listen excruciatingly for decades to music and audio in specifically controlled environments. Quite frankly, I doubt that anyone can hear the difference between an uncompressed source file of any sampling frequency and an Apple encoded .m4a file using the current compression scheme, except those special hearing individuals mentioned prior. A neat trick is to highlight the 192kHz AIFF files, control click, scroll down the menu that pops up and click on Encode Selected Audio Files. Then you can make a Hi-Res .m4a file that is much smaller and you won't even be able to notice any degradation in sound quality. The resulting file will be in the same location as the source file. And let me add that anytime you have an audio file you can select in your Finder, just press space bar and it should play via Quick Look. [/QUOTE]
