I took a snippet of a pop song that I think has exceptional sonic quality. I did the conversion to .au format because I do think it sounds better than .wav format. (If you cannot do .au, I'll have .wav on the server tomorrow.) I do think the baseline sonics will make it easy for most of you here to distinguish the true CD-quality clip.

One file is a full-CD-quality non-compressed .au. The other was converted to 320 kbps MP3 via LAME and converted back to .au. Both files play at 1411 kbps.
