Was listening to the highest streaming-rate Amazon Music this evening to test out new speakers. A/B'd the same tune (Cinema Show by Genesis) in FLAC through Foobar and the resolution/imaging was greatly improved, but the highs were noticeably harsher. My ears started to burn out after only a couple minutes. It seems to me that the compression in the Amazon algorithm was rolling off the highs, which were audible via the FLAC? The difference was shocking!
Has anyone else had similar experience? May be a separate topic, but have you folks struggled with painful high-end when putting systems together?
