I'm an audiophile user since Bandinabox 2007 (the first year they sent to me a lot of free CDs I still have as a souvenir of the time).
I produce not commercial music for a theatre and some short movie maker.
I agree that the difference from wma is not so great, and I must say that, according to me, that is due to the no excellent recording of the Realtracks samples.
I turn off all the Biab effects while exporting the wave files, but the quality is rarely as good as for my Vienna Library instruments that are recorded 44.1k-24bits as well.
