Hi all,
I received my tangara recently and I have a selection of different quality music, some mp3, some flac and some hi-res flac. My issue is that I can't hear the difference in quality between those. I know that you shouldn't listen to anything above sampling of 48Khz, but I checked and my hi-res flac is 44khz.
I'm using focal celestee headphones: Celestee - Closed hi-fi headphones | Focal as well as in ear custom fitted earsonics: EM6 | in-ear monitors | EarSonics ® with both I hear the same quality with all these different formats.
I know it is not a fair comparison but I listen to those same files on my marrantz av receiver, the difference in quality is striking, I even did a little test taking the same song in mp3 and then flac and I can hear the difference.
Am I expecting too much from that little device or is there something that can be done ? Either configuration wise, hardware wise, or something else ?
Thank you,
Tursiops.
