Wherein "notably worse" is highly subjective.

Unless you're doing some Fourier analysis of the audio or are listening in a noise-free environment with perfect speakers and an excellent DAC, most people really won't notice the difference. Some may (or think they can), but most don't.

The quality of this board depends on the quality of the posts. The only way to guarantee thoughtful, informative discussion is to write thoughtful, informative posts. AppleNova is not a real-time chat forum. You have time to compose messages and edit them before and after posting.
