Note:
 heres the thing with these players i can take it ... the diaphrams inside of the hardware that make the threshhold from power to output have a type of way there isnt very much room for over bearing the encoding with even the slightest mix of options .... the legacy 16bit and 44 khz sample parameters for the encodings are very much tailored for these specifically small diaphrams for output through the devices hardware.... the release from which is in term 'diaphram' only allow such the idea of a limit so insomuch ive been using 24 bit assingnments through some of the options and some other things like joint stereo and other type of available things to play with , the way this SHOULD work is to take a better backward look and make sure mainly i or anyone else should use legacy options very much in the same the make the device operate on the phones better ... and insomuch you get the signal functions on the flac encoding working the right pattern and you find a type of niche (like ive been working on) the phones tend to pull the weight of the power output through the diaphram particualarly like it should with the mainly legacy paramaters in the sampleing values.... seriously i noticed the battery the pull the strings on the guitar really tense and powerfully within consideration with the legacy option so insomuch you might think about 24 bit you might need a powerful player with powerful headphones because the jlab however the idea of jlab is they are very nice phones with this specific type of diaphram limit on what about is going into pushing the value of the phones with the encoding and also jlab is a cool phone. you should try these things out its like if you get the flac window functions right the damn phones are like better than sony.... its just great to hear and feel the music with the jlab phones its pretty fresh..... ill keep working on the window functions and try to get better results especially with legacy sampling parameters.
