I assume that Mac's youtube video is with BIAB audiophile edition? If it is, the issue is to compare std vs audiophile. I appreciate that there is some loss via internet compression but that is also true for the wma files also so there should be some noticeable difference between the two versions even on the internet.

I have some idea what the difference might sound like, maybe the std version is a tab flat or lacking presence compared to a slightly livelier audiophile version? But based on the fact that PG Music havnt created a demo for us to compare and people have mixed opinions I'm guessing the difference is not much.

I listened to a video on youtube demonstrating the use of a vocal booth vs no vocal booth with this guy speaking. The difference wasnt much at all but it was there. I've learned that anything audiophile is only slight differences, and in some cases one has to really listen hard to tell the difference. I'm thinking of comparing HiFi cables for example. The same could be true of BIAB audiophile version.

I'll ask this question again from another post, I've noticed playing a tune in BIAB and swapping between RealTracks takes a number of seconds, it's a real pain. Usually BIAB will prepared 4/4 files when uncompressing? Some RealTracks are fast at uncompressing and others take what seems like ages. How does Audiophile compare on this level? Is switching between RealTracks when looking for a suitable track faster or slower with Audiophile? If faster this would be another reason for me to consider?
