I've modified this schema a bit i made a folder with 10 of each version i want to compare and make sure the tagging is identical so it would not be obvius which version is what and press shuffle . Ive done the 24/96 vs 16/44.1 comparision a lot of times = no difference Note this !* you have to make the low rez versions yourself, the CD layer or alternate versions of the same songs are very rarely from the same master then you would not compare the same thing* I would not even trust the different version on HD tracks to really be the same . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
