The problem with music that has such a high dynamic range is that you need an almost silent room to listen to it and get the whole range, which is not a luxury almost anyone has. Now, on the other hand, avoiding the dithering and quantization issues is a practical reason to want to avoid Pulse (especially because a lot of high-end audio cards do up-sample to their native sample rate and format before doing any internal processing). It's like the difference between using 24-bit color and 48-bit color in image work, there's minute differences, but better than 95% of humans can't tell the difference.Įven people who work for have written articles on this: For example, if you give me the same audio encoded in a 128kbps MP3 file and a FLAC file, same sample rate, same bit-depth, I can roughly 80% of the time identify which one is the MP3 just by listening to them both, yet I know numerous people who claim they can tell the difference between 44.1k and 192k sample rates who can't do the same better than about 50% of the time (which pretty much means they're guessing). 24 versus 16 bit audio doesn't make as much difference as you think either.Īnd easily audible for you doesn't mean it is for everyone either.
