Folks, not all music files are created equal.

What REALLY matters, is not the file format -- FLAC, MP3, DSD, etc.

It's the quality of the original mastering done in the studio.

There are vintage recordings made in the 1960s that sound better than modern-day issues.

Is Hi-Res authentic? Is your money wasted on buying "Hi-Res"?

Determine whether your file is really hi-res, or just an upsampled file:

192 KHz/24-bit music files are bought by audiophiles who think they sound better than 44/16 CD rips or hi-res 96/24.

Folks, save your money. I can't hear a positive difference between 192/24 and 96/24. Heck, many MP3/320kbps tracks from online sellers sound as good as 44/16 CD rips in my system!

MQA is not lossless
