Recently, the rapper Jay Z relaunched the subscription streaming music service Tidal, which includes the option to listen to high-definition audio for $19.99 per month. Tidal's HiFi, with its uncompressed audio files, promises a better listening experience than any other streaming service on the market.
Many listeners cannot hear the difference between uncompressed audio files and MP3s, but when it comes to audio quality, the size of the file isn't (ahem) everything. There are plenty of other ingredients to consider, from the quality of your headphones to the size of the room you're sitting in to, well, your own ears.
pour moi je reconnais tout de suite le Uncompressed WAV quand il y a de la voix. pour la music avec beaucoup base j'ai fail.

In the late 1980s, when the engineers working on the MP3 were testing their creation, they picked one song to make sure the compression of the audio wouldn’t destroy the sound of the human voice.
That song? The a cappella version of Suzanne Vega’s “Tom’s Diner,” from the 1987 album Solitude Standing. The leader of that team of German engineers, Karlheinz Brandenburg, estimates he listened to the song “500 or 1,000 times.”
