Though smartphones can be used to listen to music, they can't compete with high-end music players. Toward the top of that list is Sony's NW-ZX707 Walkman.
if listening to music from a “good quality phone” is enough for you, good for you. But why would you need to dis people who are craving for a better sound ?
I am not dissing. Just saying that you propably cannot hear difference in quality with that. The device has properties that do not make sense in listening quality.
Listen to a standard mp3, then listen to the same song as 32/96k FLAC. I bet most people can hear a difference. But no worries if you can’t, its not a big deal
Oh hunny…I didn’t say an mp3 is CD quality, you assumed that. I gave specs for the FLAC because “standard mp3” has specs; therefore you have two sets of specs to compare, silly goose. I can hear a difference, but that’s because any studio engineer that is worth their money is going to be both.
Audio engineer here, it’s a trainable skill that takes a long time with comparing audio side-by-side
At to some point you can but after CD-quality you cannot. Did you read the article?
As sound engineer you should know that you use high quality to record but it makes no extra sense after CD-quality to listen.

They’re trolling on Lemmy, I guess? Haha I don’t feel dissed though, its just communication

Mp3 is not CD-quality. As sound engineer you should know the difference. MP3 is old lossy format and you are comparing it to loseless.
There is people that can hear those differences in certain corner cases.
Also you are not defining any specs for mp3 but you are giving specs for FLAC. Why?
Can you hear difference between CD-quality and 32/96k FLAC? If you think you can then you are audiophile and not sound engineer.

Because I was talking CD-quality not mp3. Anybody can hear difference between bad mp3 and loseless format. That is not issues.
Mp3 has two differend standards using the same name and at least mpeg-2 supports several frequencies. So there is no ”one mp3”.
Talking about three decades old lossy standard in 2023 is really stupid. There is even better lossy standards around.
With you knowledge I have hard time believing you work as audio engineer.
Thank you for your feedback. You’re very brave and I appreciate you.
