Message	A-B home studio set up between a 320kbps MP3 file and a 1141kbps WAV. Not saying you can't, but I'd be surprised. That's like top 1% discernable listening. I am saying you can't in a car environment. No one can, and if you say you can, you're only fooling yourself. IMO, anything below 192kbps is crap unless you're listening to buds while outdoors jogging or something. Everything I dl from beatport.com or stompy.com is 320kbps. When I record a DJ set I record straight to 320kbps MP3 at a 90dB S/N. My iRiver is my weak link sonically:/ Sets are usually a combination of vinyl and the files I dl. They still sound crisp and very clean. Other files I have preset to download nothing less than 192kbps, with 256kbps being prefered. "...Downpipes own.
