flac files?

Hi,

I downloaded a flac file last night then converted it to alac to play on my iPod.

I have the same album in mp3 320 KBS and listened to both.

There was a slight difference but not as big as I thought it would be.

I was listening on Sony MDR 1Rs which I thought would showcase the difference's quite well as they aren't cheapie ear buds.

I haven't listened on my HT yet though so maybe that'll be different.

Anyone else had that happen?

Thanks
