Interesting indeed. The comments "most of our songs are encoded in mp3, so we are upscaling..." and "Our song library has alot of FLAC format songs..." I guess experimental is right, they must just be testing bandwidth and other technical stressors. Upscaling mp3 to FLAC does no good from a listening standpoint (IMO), and most > alot, so maybe the FLAC stream is not worth Paul maintaining. It makes me wonder if this (mixed format/upscaling) is the reason you previously picked up on the dynamic range compression/limiting aspect of some songs, while at other times/songs sounded normal? I remember waveforms you presented where it was obvious, then others where it seemed normal. I remember even commenting "hey, it sounds ok again" and thought they had corrected the issue....
