I don&#8217;t even have to hear the slightest difference.<\/p>\n<p>Honestly, 128 kbps is fine for portable use (although the audible range changes significantly compared to 320 kbps), but if you&#8217;re looking for a premium music experience with home audio, you should use a compressed sound source first. use time.<\/p>\n<p>Frequency analysis<br \/>\nThere are many other people who do the same, but I&#8217;ll check it out myself.<br \/>\nNote that the vertical and horizontal widths differ for each graphic.<br \/>\nAll encoding to mp3 \/ AAC is done with iTunes.<\/p>\n<p>First, I prepared a FLAC sound source sample. The genre is rock.<br \/>\nThe characteristics of 4608 kbps bit rate \/ 96 kHz sampling rate \/ 24 bit bit depth of<br \/>\nfrequency are as follows. This is the original way.<\/p>\n<p>Generally, the human audible range is said to be around 20Hz to 20kHz *, but with FLAC, you can see that information is also included in the ultra-high range above 20kHz.<\/p>\n<p>* Actually, it seems that most people have a hard time distinguishing between 15 kHz and higher.<\/p>\n<p>Then AAC \/ 320 kbps<br \/>\n* Sampling frequency 44.1 kHz \/ Bit depth 16 bit<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is AAC absolutely better than mp3?
