Are manufacturers stuck in a questionable spec war, or are we one day going to wonder how we ever put up with ‘only’ 240Hz displays?

Imo the biggest bump is from mp3 to lossless. The drums sound more organic on flacs whereas on most mp3s they sound like a computer MIDI sound.

The biggest bump for me was the change in headphones. It made my really old aac 256kbps music sound bad.

320kbps cbr and v0 vbr mp3 are audibly transparent. Most likely, 250kbps and v2 are too.

Tried flac vs 192 vorbis with various headphones. E.g. moondrop starfield, fiio fa1, grado sr80x...

Can't tell a difference. Kept using vorbis.

Opus is the way these days. Pretty much transparent even at 128kbps (arguably with even lower bitrates in most cases).

Yeah, I've heard good things too.
