If you have the time, you might want to look into the hydrogen audio site.
www.hydrogenaudio.org and check out some of the posts about clipping and how it
relates to quality. It seems that in some circumstances, (especially with modern
recordings) clipping can occur during the encoding process and would seem to be an
explanation (at least to me) for your loss of dynamic range. Perhaps do a search in
the archives for clipping. The solution seems to be setting the "scale" factor lower
to avoid "internal clipping".
Also some very good information there on ABX and other objective testing tools, though
it appears that most of the tools are Win32 based, so you might want to join the forum
and ask about that. I seem to remember from your previous posts that you don't have
good access to a Win32 based machine.
