Download Bruno Mars' 24k Magic in High-Quality FLAC Format
Tracks to test your system with:
- On standard formats: The 808 kick drum hits hard, but the sub-bass occasionally blurs with the synth pads. The talk box effect feels slightly compressed.
- On 24/96 FLAC: The initial vinyl crackle is airier. The kick drum’s transient—the initial click of the beater—is separated from the subsonic decay. The hi-hats in the left channel have a shimmering, metallic texture that typical lossy codecs turn into a “sizzle.” Most notably, the backing vocals (the “Whoo!” ad-libs) have genuine depth and placement in the stereo field.
- The groove: The swing rhythm relies on ghost notes on the snare. In hi-res, those ghost notes are dynamic—soft, then loud, then soft again. This is where 24-bit’s increased dynamic range shines; the contrast between the main backbeat and the ghost notes is dramatically wider.
If you only listen to music in the car or on a portable Bluetooth speaker, the standard CD or lossy streaming version of 24K Magic will suffice. Bruno Mars’ production is so strong that it sounds good everywhere.
