Well I had to wind my system up gain 99 (out of 100) to hear the -75dB one...at which point I could hear what was left of the music and the artefacts. But I'm running the system so loud (with over 500 watts of active amplification) that normal music would be at the pain barrier!.
Anyway - I stand by my point. In normal usage i can't see how this would ever get heard. How did you manage to hear it? I can only imagine you were listening on headphones with the gain wide open to a track recorded at a very low level? Anyway as I keep saying, I converted the files to FLAC (using Switch Plus) and the artefacts disappeared. So there is a perfect workaround for the one file out of 100,000 that might have this issue...
