In 1984, Madonna Ciccone solidified her status as a pop icon with the release of the album Like a Virgin . Originally mixed for analog tape and vinyl consumption, the sounds of 1984 were characterized by a specific sonic footprint—bright synthesizers, gated reverb drums, and compressed basslines.

- The Bassline: Bernard Edwards’ (of Chic fame) bass guitar finally gets its due. At standard MP3 compression, the low end turns to mud. In 24bit/192kHz, the string tension is palpable. You hear the fret buzz and the bloom of the note.
- The Vocal Sibilance: Madonna’s breathy, unpolished delivery on the title track is often buried. In high-res, you hear the natural room reverb of Power Station studio. It sounds less like a pop single and more like you are standing next to her at the mic stand.
- The Percussion: The cowbell and the LinnDrum machine hits have a transient snap that gets lost in lossy formats. At 192kHz, the attack is sharp enough to cut glass.
