Nice it worked! The bitrate and blocksize and the number 4608 does have
nothing in common.
It is a pure coincidense. 24bit 96kHz has a bitrate of 4608kbps. flac
compresses into frames of a steady blocksize that has a maximum of 4608
samples per block for sampling rates up to 48kHz. This was used
If these files are flac you may try to recompress them with a blocksize
of 4096 that is default for recent flac versions. I had files compessed
with level 8 and a blocksize of 4608 that stuttered. If it still
stutters use a lower compression level like 6 or 5 that is default iirc.

Many so called High End speakers are voiced a bit strange to archieve
some spectacular sound on first listen. Preferable some Jazz that kicks.
With voices some slight anomalies in the mids can do lots of harm and
people spend endless amounts of time, money
I see the same pattern as before with people that reported to hear 24bit
advantages in old Jazz music that was pulled from sale for being padded
16bit. Later they heard advantages in dsd and now welcome MQA but at the
same time are completely overwhelmed with the most simple abx because of
to
For MQA we read many sceptic comments but some claim to hear advantages
in detail and lower distortion be it the secret sauce or just because it
is a newer remaster does not matter.
Every attempt like bit-freezing may solve a bandwith issue but won't be
taken serious.
