listen to FLACs via ASIO or WASAPI Exclusive (bitperfect) for a while and I promise you'll be able to tell the difference

I used to do this when I was just getting into this hobby and I've found that it's really not worth the hassle. After 2 years of listening for a difference, I've concluded that there isn't one.

edit: 128kbps AAC sounds better than flac. The compression artifacts are like a savory seasoning that I like to sprinkle on all my tracks

Listening to compression artifacts on purpose sounds really menacing lol. I just settled for 320 kbps mp3s since I can't hear the difference from flacs, but whenever I have to listen to some music on YouTube and I can hear the difference in quality, it does bother me quite a bit lol
