How good is lossless sound quality? (WiMP HiFi)

[@Le_Sourpuss]

This video only shows the difference in quantity of sounds. It does not show the difference in the quality of the sounds, since it's also compressed by KZbin.

[@karburator2778]

euheide yes:)

[@archimagox4177]

Why did they not have a link to let you download a copy of the MP3 192, 320, and FLAC to try flipping back and forth at home if they have such confidence that MP3 320 vs. FLAC is discernible to the music listening public... Hint... It's not that easy.

[@TLindegaardDK]

This is obviously for demonstration only. If you truly are a audio professional you should value WIMPs initiative. I'm a happy Spotify-user and i'm not switching to WIMP anytime soon, but I appreciate that some companies think in quility and offer that to their customers.

[@reallyboringindividual]

It's obvious that we're comparing a =192k source here. Although the difference between lossless and

[@riccc6125]

0:54 death metal!!

[@hloyhesit8403]

Ricky Roger maybe black metal. You don't listen to death metal do you? Cause it's alot more nuanced than you likely presume

[@Qlitysounds]

Very intresting, thx the upload! Great song also

[@meh23p]

whhaaattt? what's the audio compression options for youtube again?

[@BassKick]

This shit is obviously not biased or the MP3s butchered. High bitrate mp3 files are actually quite good.

[@TLindegaardDK]

depends on your equipment. If you use an iPhone or surround system with 7 speakers that totally costed US$600, then no, you probably cant hear the difference. However, this product is for people who value hifi, and there are quite a few people who have spent more than $6000 on two speakers and an amplifier - for those/us, yes there's a soundable difference.

[@iFireJV]

Wimp, dere vet at KZbin bare støtter 192kpbs?

[@TheMrgonzalo05]

When is it coming to the US?

[@metalrr5]

lol'd. er det en mp3 med 5 bitrate eller?

[@julianrokl5807]

When will it be possible to get this through a Canal Digital subscription?

[@GTX790SLI]

I use a beyerdynamic T1, and I could not tell the difference between the AAC and the FLAC

[@BH4x0r]

well maybe if you used 320kb/s mp3's that weren't converted with a shitty as fuck convertor, then your mp3's would sound good too.

[@blackbird041101]

Hvordan lager man en wimp bruker?

[@PeterMacPL]

Hmmm maybe I'm dull :) but on my good system I can't hear difference between AAC VBR@320kbps(iTunes codec) vs FLAC. I think it's not possible to catch differences between this two formats even if one is lossy. Of course between MP3 and FLAC is big difference, specially if we talking about for example MP3 CBR 192kbps and FLAC.

Zgaś wszystkie ulepszenia dźwięku w windzie, daj trochę głośniej i załóż jakies troche lepsze słuchawki. Słychać, uważnie słuchaj co hi-hat gra. Akurat utwór może nie jest swietny do prezentacji, w takim Dream Theater lepiej by było słychać. Róznica nie jest powalająca, ale jest na tyle duża, że warto mieć flaca. : )

[@AVINIDE]

Definitely AAC 320 doesn't sound like that. Also, you cannot hear lossless signal through KZbin.. Nice try

[@-MohammedElSyed-]

+ΛVINIDE indeed. KZbin 192 kbps AAC.

[@AVINIDE]

+Alex Uasya One more thing. LAME 320kbps MP3 is pretty good, and sounds better than MP3 sound in this video..

[@endrizo]

What is the maxinum audio quality that youtube offers?? We are hearing youtube here. flac or ape lossless is much much better than mp3 no doubt.if you cannot tell the diference its time to improve your speakers and or soundcard.

[@Le_Sourpuss]

You do notice the volume going up though lol.

[@firetail006]

The space needed for LL tracks makes our devices feel like the old 512mb music players. Always falling short on storage.

[@fenrix155]

0:27 damn that’s creepy

[@azeller09]

This is just an example to show the difference

[@haraldsvik1452]

Too bad youtube doesn't support sound quality above 320kbps then :p

[@ymxina]

really? mp3 dont have treble???

[@BH4x0r]

no the converter they used is garbage, and the bitrate they used too lol

[@TR6Telos]

Great demo. But most people are deaf or not bothered, (by anything!) or lazy or brainwashed etc. Thanks for this. Quad esl57 Magneplanars, Sennheiser 580, Transcriptors Transcriber, Valve and transistor amps, and You Tube (which I listen to most as its easy. Regards, Mike.

[@ThorsteinKlingenberg]

Does Spotify have an lossless alternative? Right, so Wimp wins? Good, that's that then.

[@TLindegaardDK]

Agreed, people how doesnt understand this should just shut up. It's not that hard to figure out the purpose of the video.

[@Usernamenottaken2k]

Hahahahaha compress much? Ahhh jeg dæver!

[@bellephron3801]

What about same sound for home theater? You must pay for a HDMI receiver though. 500.00 is pretty cheap that's the cost of a blu-player home theater set-up. Lossless wants you to. The file speaks the truth about when it isn't.

[@Jensijensjens]

Det som er gjort i denne KZbin-videoen, er å vise forskjellen på en skikkelig dårlig MP3 og en helt ok MP3. Rent lureri. Ja, det er forskjell på MP3 og FLAC, men forskjellen er mindre enn dette.

[@reallyboringindividual]

Now if you'd be so kind and add a catalog of Japanese music I'd be grateful (no, not anime songs).

[@LasseBigum]

Now all WiMP needs is a Linux client and a really nice developer API like Spotify, then you are really ahead! I prefer WiMP's music discovery, but your complete lack of Linux and an API makes it a no-show for me.

[@ObjectiveCoder]

I'm an audio professional and I can tell you that this is the stupidest add ever. How can you post this to youtube, whom compresses the audio like crazy. Please stop already. You've already lost against spotify, exit with som pride.

[@PrestonGranger]

Ugh, stop with this snake oil shit

[@haraldsvik1452]

Too bad youtube doesn't support sound quality above 320kbps then :p

[@wizzky]

You can hear up to 384 kbps with stereo sound and 512 kbps with 5.1 if you put the video quality 720p or above, although you can only hear 128 kbps if you have mono sound
