Why 320 kbps Matters — Premium Deep House Radio
At DeepNova Radio, we stream exclusively in 320 kbps MP3 — crystal clear, full fidelity sound. Below, we explain why 320 kbps is the benchmark for serious listeners.
What Is Bitrate & Why It Matters
Bitrate refers to how much audio data is delivered each second. The higher the bitrate, the more detail, dynamics, and clarity you preserve. Lower bitrates save data but often sacrifice fidelity.
320 kbps vs Lower Bitrates
- 128 kbps: decent for casual listening, but lacks detail in highs and lows.
- 192 / 256 kbps: a good middle ground — acceptable, but still compressed.
- 320 kbps: near lossless fidelity for MP3 — ideal compromise between quality and bandwidth.
Why We Choose 320 kbps at DeepNova
- Maximum clarity in vocals, percussions, synths, and low-end
- Better performance on high-end sound systems and headphones
- Universal support across devices without advanced codec needs
- Preserves dynamics and musical richness
How Streaming Works (Tech Overview)
We use optimized encoders and settings tuned for 320 kbps MP3, ensuring minimal artifacts. Our servers maintain reliable bandwidth so listeners get consistent playback with minimal buffering.
FAQs
Is 320 kbps really audible better than 128 kbps?
Yes — on good audio systems and with well-mastered tracks, the difference in clarity, separation, and dynamic range is noticeable.
Will using 320 kbps use lots of data?
Streaming at 320 kbps uses ~2.4 MB per minute (≈144 MB per hour). For typical listeners, it’s manageable with modern mobile data plans.
Why not stream lossless (FLAC, WAV)?
Lossless formats demand far more bandwidth and may not be supported on all mobile browsers. 320 kbps MP3 gives nearly transparent quality with universal compatibility.
What happens under poor network conditions?
If bandwidth dips, we gracefully buffer or rebuffer rather than drop quality. But 320 kbps does need a stable connection.
