Audiophiles are passionate about sound, pursuing the best reproduction of audio from recorded music. While often viewed as snobs, most just want accurate sound.
Bit rate measures how much data is transferred over time, expressed in Kbps. It impacts audio quality, with higher bit rates generally yielding better sound.
Clipping occurs when an amplifier is overdriven, causing distortion. It’s often due to high volume settings or poorly mastered recordings, degrading sound quality.
A codec encodes a signal into a format for recording and decoding for playback. It's not just a file format like MP3 but a process.
