How can Audiofire be the best? What about Apogee Duet 2 or many others in that price range?

3 main notable differences about mp3 vs WAV, or any other lossless, 320 mp3 looses about 1.3% volume, aswell as adding small amounts of artifacts (very bad unwanted noises but usually unhearable unless listening at 120+db), other then that all wavs have vs properly encoded mp3's is an extra 2khz of dynamic range, meaning on speakers that go passed 20khz and upto 22 or more will be able to utilize the wav, where the mp3 will be more ideal on the average speaker that can't pass 20khz, here is the differences in 2 beatport releases, 1 320 MP3, 1 AIFF
sad but true.
test yourself....

There is a huge difference however, your loudspeakers need to be large enough and posses good quality to hear the difference.
Bear in mind even an mp3 @ 320 kilobytes per second uses compression to consolidate the size of the file. Compression will always hamper the dynamics of an audio track. This is the reason many prefer .wav (no compression added) files to mp3s.
the human hearing curve changes drastically passed 100db, we accually are able to pick them up but our ears have there own frequency curve, the volume needs to be really loud and on speakers that also can play those frequencies in relative loudness to the rest of the sounds (completelty flat eq is always best for a properly mastered track to be enjoyed how it was suppost to be), its unfortunate so many cheap speakers have to glamorize certain frequencies just to sound decent because they are so cheaply made.
but i know that any lossless that reaches 22khz instead of 20 with a properly encoded mp3, when using my synheiser hd25, wich accually have a range to 22, everything sounds noticeably better and the highs are alot more clear, dynamic music is always better if you have the speakers to properly hear it, but as i said earlier, this is only noticeable at really high volume's, for headphones 1/4 jack is almost nessesarry unless you have a really loud amp on your soundcard like me
