Using a single CDR should cancel out most drive problems however even using the same SW player doesn't mean that the codecs it uses for different formats have equal performance. Even multi-format codecs may have varying quality between formats.
If you were to transcode all of the samples to a single format THAT would eliminate problems due to the player and it's codec. The crumby thing is that while it eliminates playback as a variable, you end up with the same potential problems at the transcode step.
The only thing I can suggest is to repeat the tests using a wide variety of playback software and see if the results remain the same.
That ol' playing field may be flat, but it's got potholes...
Good luck, Rick
