The audiophile version of the BIAB 2009 UltraPak includes .wav file versions of RealTracks and RealDrums, which "preserve the full quality". The regular UltraPak contains all the RealTracks and RealDrums files, but doesn't have the .wav files, so presumably plays them from compressed lower-quality files. How much quality drop occurs if using RealTracks and RealsDrums from the regular UltraPak instead of the audiophile version?

It costs a lot more to get the audiophile version so I'm leaning toward the regular UltraPak, but I do want good quality sounds from the RealTracks/RealDrums. (I know some of the extra cost is for the 500 GB hard drive necessary to hold all the .wav files.)

The RealTracks/RealDrums video and audio demo songs on the website sound good to me -- were those done from the .wav files or the non-wav?
