A SHOCKING DISCOVERY ABOUT DIGITAL AUDIO

This might come as a shock, not in a bad way but I have discovered that 320KBPS MP3 is actually bit perfect. Shocking isnt it? That does not mean the quality is the same as CD. It is not. You have been warned the master has spoken.

The second shocking discovery i have made recently is that i can actually hear the difference between 320kbps and wav. I never thought i could do it but i heard it. 

Can anybody do what i have done?  I dare any of you audiophiles

Of course I deserve accolades if I can hear something few people can.

Why?

Answer this one: When you heard this difference, what speakers were you listening through?

That is the shocking thing. You won't believe me but I was using a cheap pair of earbuds. Not speakers. I expect I would still hear the difference with speakers but I did not try.

Nobody believes you! You manage to leave a trail of disbelief whatever forum you pollute.
