Feel the differences between FLAC and MP3?

Sound detailed and more rich warm sound. High Cymbals can be heard clearly.


Btw, I just received this C30 today, few hours ago. Of course I need to burn in first right?

haha..
Errr... not really sure as i'm not a Music Player expert! I only know that AMP & Headphone/earphones need to burn-in. Hope sifu-sifus here can answer that. I wanna know too

1st test
given a song, for example: When a man loves a woman,

1st is 320kbps mp3
2nd is FLAC
3rd is upsampled FLAC
4th is 128kbps mp3

all file sizes are the same at 8MB, so can you find out which is from the actual source and is not web downloaded low quality?

2nd test:
same song, but all 4 are wav, same file size
so, which of the 4 is real .wav, which is 320kbps mp3 converted wav, which is FLAC converted wav?

3rd test:
same song, but only 12 second playback,
within the short time , same file format, same file size

which is wav? which is mp3 320kbps? which is FLAC?

C30 is for pure and balance music lover.... if pair with a good headphone like Samson and Shure, you will like it. This is why most C30 user go for Flac which will give a good sound quality.

It's a must for electronic stuff.

I know that song from Michael Bolton... my fav song and popular when I was young. (still feel young actually)

'When A Man Loves A Woman' by Michael Bolton?

Is there any other, not considering the 60s era those lol

all same size... really?

My FLAC mostly 25 - 60MB.

Mine lowest 30MB. all 44100Hz FLAC!

highest I have is 138MB for one song only... hotel california.

thats not a full length song also luu, like 1 minute or something like that, and then compressed to matching file size

but how you make '4th is 128kbps mp3' - 8MB 128kbps MP3 is not 1 minute... almost 2 full songs already.

You should get 1 minute WAV song from original CD, then convert to FLAC (any level also can, prefer to have level 1 and level 8, 2 files), then also convert to 320kpbs and 128kbps MP3. That the best way to test the quality. Should have 4 files with different size and quality.

"When a Man Loves a Woman" is a song recorded by Percy Sledge in 1966 at Norala Sound Studio in Sheffield, Alabama
It was later covered by Michael Bolton in 1991, whose version also reached number one on the U.S. pop and adult contemporary singles charts (Bolton also received a Grammy Award for this song). Barbara Mandrell recorded a Country version of the song that same year. The song has also been recorded by Jerry Butler, Art Garfunkel and Luba.

Too many singer for 1 song... definitely one of best song ever.

And this world-recognified group of artist too
