The strange part is that I was challenging the files alone, and ignored two friends of mine were doing the same. One of them, who is more accustomed to comparisons than me, also suspected his downsampled version was sounding lower. I only discovered that later.

I first compared commercial HD/CD downloads, and then rolled my own CD version from the HD file. In both cases this 0.38dB volume difference existed. I'll try using r8brain to check whether the volume difference also exists with that tool.

That's why I've computed replaygains to check. -- sebp 'Last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/sebp) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sebp's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11768 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85879 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
