This is the visual difference between uncompressed and compressed media. Its the same when you listen to lossy music. The compressed file will lose clarity, detail and sound digitally harsh.

the funny thing is that people will fall for this

>using the same image on both sides
very clever OP, but I see your game
Adam Gomez
you're a funny guy OP
Lincoln Allen
The point of encoding something in v0 is that it is at the point where it is indistinguishable from lossless.
Jace Collins
You are so dumb and wrong and I'm not even OP
Wyatt Kelly
I know you are OP. No one else is that ignorant about digital signal processing.
Nolan Martinez
Ha, now i see the difference, is on the background, the cat looks the same in the two pictures, and yes, i have some albums in flac, but i can say that with the 99% of albums you won't loose anything that you would care for.
Colton Fisher
That's bullshit. The quality loss is much less detectable, there aren't such obvious artifacts like that JPEG image on the right.
Watch this video by that dude who was responsable for FLAC and OGG: youtube.com
Andrew Moore
Ha ha, good one! This is exactly the difference between lossless and a well encoded lossy file, e.g. between FLAC and MP3. The lossy file is much smaller, but all the important data is still there and you have to look really hard to spot the differences.
Lucas Allen
nigga i use $10 skullcandys the fuck am i going to PRETEND to notice between the two
Gavin Wright
To prove how wrong you are, take a look at this picture. The PNG format is lossless, so it doesn't modify the quality in any way.
On the first row it's exactly your image. On the second row it's the same image converted to JPEG high quality settings. Spot the differences between these 2 rows.
Isaac Lewis
Forgot to add: the visual difference between these 2 rows is the difference between a FLAC and an MP3 with a high bitrate.
Camden Nguyen
BTW, the difference between the OP's PNG and that HQ JPEG (in Photoshop add each image on a separate layer and select Difference). Where do you see black it means the images are identical.
Henry Ortiz
And finally, the actual HQ JPEG used in that comparision.

Take the test and find out.

And let's look at what science has to say:

That test is fucking shit, WAV takes much longer to load and it's not an ABX. You really are a fucking pleb.
This is the only legitimate one on the internet as far as I know. Got an 80% here: abx.digitalfeed.net
Isaac Ortiz
>That test is fucking shit, WAV takes much longer to load and it's not an ABX. You really are a fucking pleb.
What's the difference? You can't distinguish WAV from FLAC, nor from 320 kbps MP3.
Elijah Howard
You are pleb. WAV is FLAC unpackaged. It's the same data, but stored inefficiently. It's like PNG vs BMP.
Jason Bell
>implying you can hear above 20 kHz
Even if your hearing is super good there's no way you can hear truly 22 kHz. Even though I admit it's a good placebo.
Landon Fisher
I'm a huge audiophile but unless you have a great audio system you probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference anyway.
Nolan Hernandez
kek
Grayson Wood
You pair of fucking idiots. When you play the 3 files in the npr test, the lossless one will always take longer to load. This is not about flac vs wav.
See, this level of stupidity is what creates nonsensical discussions around the subject.
Aaron Wright
Great. And you've proven what exactly?
Matthew Lopez
That you can ace your bullshit test by seeing which one takes the longest to load. Did you see the picture?
Levi Price
I've actually noticed that V0 ain't as perfect as everyone thought.
320 master race reppin.
Carson Gutierrez
no you're not right about that. V0 and 320 are supposed to be equiv except they trim down alot from the more silent parts. If you transcoded them yourself from flac, with the right software, and did a blind test you wouldn't notice the difference, no doubt.
Ian Long
You're a stupid idiot. You could convert that mp3 to WAV and compare WAV (the original one) to WAV (the one made from the mp3).
Levi Sullivan
Honestly what the fuck are you talking about
Adam Watson
>I've actually noticed that V0 ain't as perfect as everyone thought.
How did you notice that? Did you actually do an ABX test?
