When I started my listening room, it was not an audiophile "quest". So in terms of quality it can be said that 256kbps AAC is very close to if not better than 320kbps MP3 which is pretty much the same as 320kbps Ogg Theora.Ĭlick to expand."have never heard a difference between 320MP3 and the CD it came from" Neither can most people. how much of the original data is lost in encoding, AAC is the most efficient, then Ogg Theora, then closely behind Ogg is MP3. If comparing efficiency of these three lossy formats, e.g. That can only be answered if we knew what format the file is and how OP is playing Spotify and whether they are the same release. Now the nub of what OP is trying to understand is whether a file OP has downloaded of undetermined lossy format (possibly 256kbps AAC or MP3) is better quality than Spotify (up to 320kbps Ogg Theora in the Spotify app or 256kbps AAC on some other devices if on Spotify Premium, otherwise max is 192kbps Ogg Theora in the app). It will sound the same through the same hardware. The data transport is irrelevant, whether the data is received over a SATA bus, USB bus, network connection or whatever else, data is data.įor example if you're playing a lossless format of the same release whether it be stored on your player's internal storage, on your NAS or a thousand miles away on a streaming server.
