Re: Why CD-R?

I want to do this on my home rig. A good home CD playback system is still more-resolute than a good PC-based system. Although the new Winamp 5.34 closes the gap somewhat. (The biggest problem I have is the playback cards are non-oversampling on the PC. Where it's time-resolute filtered on the home rigs. They handle complex passages better.

I want to set up this test on speakers as well. I am unable to discern absolute polarity with headphones, and I don't want to do any trials with inverted material.

I'd also like to make this available to those who first request it. Especially if I do attain a positive ABX correlation. (I might also do an "AB" disc where one merely chooses the track he thinks sounds better.) The main thing is they can see for themselves that the files are identical.

And finally, since lossless is often used in PC-based replication, it would potentially throw water on the notion that lossless means harmless, in regard to the integrity of the audio signal. And its possible audible effect can be transferred to CD-R.
