SoX was not that hard to use , the hard part is to choose settings afaik as SoX is very flexible and probably can be used with anything but sane settings if you wan't .
Thank you for suggested settings Preliminary the results are a null ( as expected ) I will convert some more files too try further Haven't picked the exact track to try to ab rigth now I 'm fumbling with my i pad casually just tapping somewhere in the playlist. To ab I would mass copy my chosen track and place each one in a folder of their own then I can have the same file name then I can build a playlist that I can shuffle and thus hide my own activities to myself. This will not go down perfectly as I know what I'm testing and already have an opinion so I'm biased even if I blind it . Ideally I should invite a friend and let him/her listen unknowingly of what's being tested . But the experience of actually trying on a lot of different tracks put things in perspective. I Recommend anyone else to try too :) but use SoX as it is very good, the paranoia risks are very low as it yields excellent results , I did a whole zoo of different transcodings but as the diff is very very small go for 24/96 ( 192 ) to 16/44.1 direct so you can try worst case . This is actually very much on topic , I you're unsure on what to think about the topic just try it for kicks. This way you can be sure to compare apples with apples commercial disc with the "same" music in different formats can be compromised. -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
