does that mean I can be an audiophile?

So HE'S The Friend who gave bed boy his lossless Taylor Swift tracks!
I've been studying Audio engineering for the past couple of years at college, and I remember being showed a documentary about *the horrors of listening to MP3 files* and how it's an insult to the producer to listen to them through streaming services like Spotify. I always thought maybe I was missing something, because to me the difference between a high quality MP3 at 320kbps and a wav file just doesn't seem as drastic as audiophiles make it seem. Thanks for the informative video!
Kamex pretty late, but might as well comment. On real good quality headphones, you can hear the difference ALOT. They are “an insult to the producer” but as a drummer, being a able to have those small music queues while blasting away is a huuuge bonus and makes stuff a lot easier.
Let me correct Sushi’s comment, on real good quality headphones, you can hear the difference A TINY LITTLE BIT.
It’s really fucking little on even the best equipment in studio environments. 320kbps mp3 with a good codex is still the best compression to sound quality there possibly is.
I hate the fact that it seems like even universities push the false believe that "MP3 is unlistenable". It would have been much more educational if your class would have done a listening session in a studio (I bet your university got something like that) to actually hear the difference for yourself.
There is a difference. Not all equipment will expose the differences. Not everyone can hear the differences. Those that can not hear the difference act like the people that can hear the difference are claiming to have seen ghosts.
@@mrq1701 No, it’s more like people claiming that these differences are so big that you’re stupid for not hearing it are idiots who believe in psychoacoustic bullshit.
Literally any reputable A/B testing with even experienced listeners shows that the differences between flac and mp3 are really not that discernible.
I should know more than most, I have a 600 gig music collection that’s 99% flac, the differences are all in your head buddy.
This is accurate information. There's a lot of misunderstanding in the audio world, and you guys have avoided that while also presenting in simple terms -- great work.
No, there's actually a lot of misinformation here. Not to mention the "budget" headphones they showed were all terrible options at their prices.
@@Boardwoards can you point out the lot of misinformation here? except the budget headphones recommendation (which actually the best of each category, not the best of sound but ok)
Converting a CZcams rip to a lossless format is like upscaling a 240p to 8K.
Have you ever done that? The bitrate is amazing, you don't know what you're missing
@@deathbydeviceable you don't know what you're doing.
@@sadmansaquib1146 r/wooosh
Your doing it wrong, everyone knows upscaling 240p to 8K is stupid and you won't get the benefits. You need to upscale 240 to 480, the 480 to 720, then 720 to 1080, then 1080 to 4K and THEN 4K to 8K!! I mean DUH!! ;) hehe
Converting youtube to lossless would not be like upscaling 240p to 8k, it would be like 240p to 240p. You would get whatever bitrate it was on youtube, hence the name lossless (no loss of quality) So if youtube is 160 kbps then a lossless would get you 160 kbps
This one was really well made. Good job guys!
Well made in the regard that they have no idea what they're talking about?
L同意Y(^_^)Y
That's bullshit. They even didn't included Bitrate comparisons for modern codecs
He should've been using beats honestly. It would've been a more accurate representation
I REALLY hope this is a joke.
@@StephenFasciani no, Beats is literally one of the most expensive pieces of paperweights on the planet. Second only to diamond rings, I daresay.
But on the contrary to OP, I wouldn't say doing so would've made the representation more accurate, because Beats artificially distorts the analog sound data it gets with its own drivers, something that most sound equipment just doesn't do intentionally.
I mean, yes, beats users think they know a lot about hearing good music when they're literally listening to (assumedly) former art distorted into trash, and these people wouldn't be able to distinguish the sound difference and the deep nuance of the music... But Beats is terrible for an entire different plethora of reasons, not just the inability to properly portray more detailed music from higher bitrates, which would take away from the message of the video, instead of enhancing.
@@SlaaneshiKitty I knew beats were bad, but I had no clue they f'd with the audio before they even reached the driver.
@@TheGreatMcPain beats, like many headphones, (at least the Bluetooth ones) have their own built in DAC.
Analog Sound IS affected by both interference (beats have horrible build quality, so even if the distance from DAC to driver is very small, there is very little shielding against interference) and by the way that the DAC interprets the Digital data itself.
I can't say for sure whether it is the drivers only or a combination of the driver and the DAC that does the sound distortion in the case of beats, but the lows are muffled and overly reverberating, the highs are screechy and everything in between is muffled. In any case, the problem with beats is that all of this sound profile changes are 100% intentional, which is the exact opposite of what Hi-fi is supposed to do.
@@SlaaneshiKitty Okay, I understand that wireless versions usually suck, because of crappy builtin DACs/Amps, but I was wondering if they slapped in some filters to screw with their wired versions, such as the Solo 2.

Love this new style of Techquickie! #RileyRules
YES I love it to, very refreshing.
There is something about the style I didnt like, but cant tell what. Aside from the obvious with how it feels very very scripted with subpar actors actually doing acting (albeit tongue-in-cheek). This might be ironic considering the topic of the video, but I feel like what I disliked is somehow related to the audio changes between the actors + camera pans.

I just took a 123 x 123 image and resized it up to 1080 x 1080 and it looks awesom! It's like I'm looking at it in person!
I have Tidal and you can definitely hear subtle nuances when you have the highest quality setting (Master). But I also came to the same conclusion, you're not going to notice it if you're at the gym or in a noisy environment. Even with noise cancelling headphones you need basically absolute silence to really hear a difference. You also need good WIRED headphones as mentioned in the video.
But if you sit down, and enjoy music, you notice even instruments that could not hear before. It is not a drastic difference, but somehow it just sounds a bit clearer.
Unless you have OCD and ADHD like me so I hear literally every difference.
@@tander101 I hear things no one else does lol. Like the electric current from an outlet no one else hears. But if I record a video of it on my phone and play it back, everyone else can hear what I hear.

Really like this format for Techquickie. Keep it up guys!
What happens to TQ when Linus take's an actual timeout. More of this type of thing!
You forgot the middle part of the digital audio equation: the DAC.
Digital files have to go to DACs to get converted to analog signals that then go to whatever speaker or headphones you have. In general, the quality is as good as the lowest common denominator -- a bad file, a bad DAC, or a bad speaker can result to bad stuffy audio, not even mentioning the ninja fourth part: human perception.
@Abstractism my old 2013 Xperia z1c's built in DAC still sounds better with a wider soundstage than my new xiaomi a1, though the latter is much louder and powers my m50x much louder. Its great though that entry-level DACs now are much better than entry-level ones back then -- but I also have 'vintage' 90s DACs that can perform on par as high-end ones now albeit being bigger.
I wish DACs though like the audioquest dragonfly red gets built into motherboards, laptops, and phones lol. But I also understand that most people would pay at most 20USD for earphones, headphones, and speakers which would negate the dac's quality anyway. Thinking back, you're right, a 20usd pair of headphones or earphones today sound way better than similarly-priced earphones back then. I always recommend Sennheisers now at that price point but back then I recommended Creatives because they were bang for the back. Included earphones with phones too now sound similar to those 20usd ones when back then they sounded like cheap 1 dollar ones.
Human perception is a big one, I don't think most people know just how quickly adults lose the ability to differentiate high frequencies with age which effects overall waveform accuracy (as individual notes are a summation of multiple frequency wavelets).
Electrostatic headphones are good for the higher frequencies but not common today
I recently spent too much on headphones, but there is a noticeable difference in the sound stage. Picking out the directions of foot steps or distant gun shots in my favorite games has improved dramatically. I wouldn't recommend going overboard, but there are plenty of mid range options that will blow your mind.
You should try out the "Quick convert" option inside Foobar. Test out OPUS and Apple's AAC encoder.
There's a difference between MP3/OGG (both 320 kbps) and a lossless audio file. But I believe you won't hear any between lossless and OPUS/AAC.
I really like to see that you are experimenting with new formats on your videos; it feels fresh and... Well.. new. I'm not sure if I like it more than the previous one, but I really like the effort that you put on your production.
The audio in this video was pissing me off lol
"I can hear the difference!"
Prove it.
"It's 2019, we don't need facts anymore!"
can you NOT? thanks
Can you see 144hz? prove it! Just showing how silly your mockery is. Of course some people notice the difference.
That's how Trump was elected
Ahov
No you aren't, just because some people can doesn't mean everybody who says they can do. How about all those people running 200FPS on their 60hz monitor? Yes, a surprising number actually think it makes the image smoother. A lot of gamers know higher is better without understanding how or why, just like with bitrate.
You can hear the difference between 320 and flac on good equipment, it's just subtle. That's basically what the video said
I really like this new method of conveying a topic! I'd love to see more like this!!
>claims to be audiophile.

Lossless is also extremely useful if ever you plan on doing remastering; as it's less likely to have artifacting or similar such errors when resampled.
Dusty Carrier I can back this 👌🏻
Yeah the only reason I can think for using 324kHz files is for remastering or applying complex digital filters, I have no idea why any consumer would believe they're a good idea, or even 192kHz for that matter - especially through some airpods
@@hg-sf7yx there is only so far you can go before it is just diminishing returns. Once you get above 24 bits you can get a perfect recreation of the analogue sound wave and a better signal-to-noise ratio than any human could possibly hear - once you go past this point it is entirely plecebo effect. Even modest DACs can recreate almost perfect waveforms with lower bit depths. As I stated, high bit depths have their uses when processing the signals, but for the end listener it doesn't matter how good your equipment is, you're just increasing file size for zero benefit.
h g
No, 192kHz is literally out of the range of human hearing. There’s a good reason why 44.1kHz and 48kHz are standard for audio and it has to do with mathematics and signal processing (20kHz being above the range of human hearing, a 40kHz sample rate would prevent aliasing, and then there’s a 10-20% cutoff margin). Now I don’t think it’s possible for someone to distinguish between a square wave and a sine wave at the upper end of their hearing (as upper harmonics would be out of hearing range), so the only reason that someone would need an audio clip with a frequency that high would be for editing or resampling purposes, as something like a 48kHz to 44.1kHz conversion may cause artifacts that a 192kHz to 44.1kHz conversion wouldn’t cause.
@@hg-sf7yx You'd need to be an audiophile with quite literally superhuman hearing. 48kHz is already slightly better quality than 99.9% are capable of actually hearing...and the few that remain fall off very quickly after that.
Thanks for that... Seeing "Emo Linus" caused the mouthful of coffee I was drinking, depart my face in a direction I certainly wasn't expecting 😆🤣

I mean, there's a ton of neural-net image scalers out there that work pretty well. They won't add any extra details but they'll make existing objects look cleaner on hi-rez displays than standard scaling. Reddit's wallpaper subs frequently use these to scale between formats.
@@peter.s.3207 Researchers also trained some models to enhance image quality by feeding photos taken by low-end smartphones and DSLRs. Software today is just unbelievable

Wow awesome camera movement for the transitions! Perfect light setup!
Loved the different quality in the audio recordings... and emo linus XD
Now I have to re-download my 5000+ songs with a high bit rate. Thanks Riley
320 kbps is the sweet spot for quality and size of files.
eh it depends on what codec was used to downsample a lossless track into mp3 there are audible but not necessarily obvious difference. I personally use mp3 on my mobile devices (not like the internal decoder can take advantage of the higher bitrate) and flac for my home listening rig.
I'm no snob tho, flac is my ceiling going wav to my own personal experience is mostly inaudible and a massive waste of internal storage.
For mp3 sure but if you're using the way better opus then 192 is basically indistinguishable from the original audio.
@@RealHomeRecording Might as well use 320kpbs. With how little space music takes up on modern devices i don't see a reason not too.
Now this is such a smooth video, LTT needs to do more content like this
YT just recommended me this video and I didn't notice it was from 2019. I did see a difference compared to newer videos (because obviously, they improved a lot), but I only realized it was an old video when I saw Taran's name in the credits at the end! (For anyone who doesn't know the Macro King has quit LMG)
Anyway it just goes on to show you how well these videos hold up plus how much better the newer videos are (in terms of production quality)
Like the new way of techquickue presentation

.FLAC Master Race
Will Nerone flac is good as fuck 🤣
TTA and TAK are way better in saving space from PCM conversions. Unfortunately TAK isn't open source and if it was FLAC would be left to rot.
Yup. The difference between mp3@320 and flac is just night and day. Perhaps not SO much for hip hop as there's not much to it, but come any form of acoustics or whatever and then it's just not satisfying listening to an mp3

Really like this new video format for techquikie!
I really really enjoyed that version of Techquickie, is unique, different from the other one and is more vibrant and vivid to the audience. I hope we see more of that kind of videos soon.
Wow when did Techquickie become techquiche. Someone added production values.
Good video on bitrate. You should do one on bit depth and sampling rate to explain why anything beyond CD quality 16/44 is useless (16 bit depth has more dynamic range than anything we listen to, and no one can hear frequencies above 20khz).
No one can hear frequencies above 20 kHz, but it's not that 48 kHz has a lot emptiness between 20.5 kHz and 24 kHz. The sound is just stretched out. The slight difference would be only in the bass area, because low frequencies require more space on the frequency axis, which can be seen on a spectogram.
When working with audio files you usually work at 96 kHz sampling rate, because you don't want loose much data, when stretching and changing the pitch. The finished sound file for listening is then converted to 48 or 44.1 kHz. Modern PC's run at 48 kHz, CZcams saves their audio files at 48 kHz (that's the nature of OPUS files), 48 kHz was called the DVD quality in the past. 48 kHz is just the new standard for over a decade now.
great video, very informative while being clear and concise, which hard to do, kudos.
and Riley asked everyone to check "if you have a good pair" @2:35... .....personally no complaints filed.....so far.......this year.
I liked the way the layout of this video was set up
Very very different and nice and smooth transitions @techquickie
I have a portable Dac and Amp combo (Fiio E-17) with ATH-M50X BT and have not listen to bad audio since! Planning on getting an open back once I move cause we have construction near my place and open back won't do.
I also have my flac audio files separated with the lower quality using different music players. Perfect audio experience for me and would like to go bigger someday! 👌🙂
I had nearly the exact same setup (just non BT) for few years up til few months ago, my E17 would not connect to anything via usb anymore so I upgraded to schiit magni & modi and recently replaced headphones with beyerdynamic c.o.ps
Hit up massdrop for the HD6xx or HD58x. I have the he4xx and hd6xx... And i cant honestly say i prefer one over the other, but the 58x are cheaper, and some say, better, than the 6xx and 4xx
I started listening to lossless music when I received my IEM.
Pretty darn good I must say. I can hear more details compared to my old headsets.
I had no problems with old techquickie format, but this one was awesome. Love the way this was made
Explanatory, flawless and funny! Nice!
I have settled with 256kbps AAC rips, as I can only hear a subtle difference between that and CD quality with my big stereo speakers, and I dont use that high end headphones on my phone either way.
256kbps AAC because Im used to that/would rather have my whole library in that out of convenience, and Im guaranteed to do pretty fine wherever I want to listen to that stuff. My music library isnt too big, so Im not really wasting space either.
One you get that high it is pretty hard to tell the diff. Plus lossy compression is getting better..especially AAC. I have all my music backed up in FLAC and convert to lossy for phone/pc use.. whatever. It's nice to have lossless backups so as time goes on and better lossy compression comes out you can always take advantage.
Idk if it was just my bad speakers not being able to play the amazing quality LTT audio but James mic didn't sound too good 😂
James? Discount luke :P but yeah, i dont know if it was made on purpose, because he sounds like he has low bitrate lol
Must be on purpose, they usually do much better than that. :)
My sound system isn't AMAZING!1! ..but it's good enough to know that was pretty bad.
Good video! Hearing ability and equipment issues aside, some people really don't know what to listen for too so they wouldn't know to pick up on certain notes vs others or if some notes become indistinguishable when the audio file is compressed. Like if you don't know song A as well as song B you may not know when the band in concert makes a mistake on song A but you'll know if they do any variation on song B.
Brilliantly explained Riley 😊😊 as an audiophile I like to listen to every nuance of the sound reproduction when I have my headphones in. Though I haven’t got a good enough source/amp/ headphones or speakers to do justice to uncompressed high bitrate audio. I use a Arcam Fmj CD player.& amp with acoustic energy AE109 speakers with black rhodium biamped speaker cable & sennheisser HD650 Headphones. But sometimes I just enjoy music on the go with my wheelchairs British made minirig audio system with Subwoofer
I have a Tidal subscription and have been listening to master audio and Dolby atmos (for years). I can't adjust to a lower sound quality such as Spotify. I also cannot just purchase any headphones.
Hopefully in the next TQ Linus will be in drag. For science of course!
love this format much more entertaining and informative (probably took longer I'm sure)
Great work on this episode, I like this new format.
