I legitimately can not discern the difference between 128kbps audio and anything higher bitrate. For years I've seen anons argue about 320kbps, FLAC, WAV, and so forth. But honest to God, the difference to my ears is near imperceptible. I listen to headphones for 8+ hours every day, and even I can't tell the difference. Sure my equipment is not top-tier, but I doubt that explains it.For my favorite music, I can just about tell the difference between 128kbps and 320kbps. Like if I really try hard. But anything above that.. forget it. I really feel people are lying when they claim they are able to hear nuances beyond 320kbps. I believe higher than 320kbps is hardcore placebo-tier and people who hoard FLACs are raping their limited storage capacity for no reason.What do you think? Is the audiophile culture plagued by lying cocksuckers, or do some people have golden ears?

>>107677878Most people are suffering from profound levels of brain damage, due to almost exclusive exposure to lossy audio. Its a use or loose it kind of thing we have physically lost the ability to hear properly, lossy audio transparency is a self-fullfilling prophesy. At this point, I have straight up given up, I don't even bother listening to music anymore.I am of the opinion that lossy audio compression needs a complete ban. Our brains have suffered profound levels of damage. And the injury just continues.

>>107677878MP3 compression causes an unpleasant high frequency in its output. WAV generates a polite output. FLAC should replace MP3 because it sounds awful.

>>107677878It might not be your ears but those shitty-ass tinny speakers or headphones you're using.
