The numbers refer to the bit depth and sample rate. A standard CD uses 16-bit/44.1kHz, which is excellent quality. High-resolution 24-bit/96kHz FLAC has a higher bit depth and sample rate, which in theory captures more dynamic range and sonic detail. However, whether you can hear a difference depends on your hearing and your equipment. For most listeners, a standard 16-bit FLAC file provides a fantastic, lossless listening experience.

Lower-quality bitrates often turn the bright, percussive nature of Hornsby's 1980s piano tone into a harsh, metallic digital hiss. A 16-bit/44.1kHz FLAC file restores the warmth of the lower registers and isolates the subtle mandolin and dulcimer textures running beneath "Mandolin Rain." Scenes from the Southside (1988)
