[QUOTE="Rambaud, post: 347562, member: 20783"] Scott R, Only your ears can tell if you can hear a difference between 128kps and 192kps - and whether the difference is siginifcant. Personally, I have found there are too many variables to come to a categoric answer - e.g. the listening environment, type of music, type of headphones/speakers, DAC etc all have an impact. It usually boils down to a trade off between file size and quality. As hard drive space is now so cheap (compared to a few years ago), I am not so bothered about big files - though that could change if one was using an iPod etc. Some tech info at this website : [url]http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=36465[/url] [/QUOTE]
