What are the UltraPak tracks, MP3? What is the difference exactly?
Matt Finlay wrote a post on this some time ago and the thread is still relevant: differences between the 'regular' and audiophile version

If you have the Ultrapak, then it's not the audiophile version.
The audiophile version is now a bit over 2TB.

It doesn't make a huge difference just straight out of BiaB, but people who do much processing after BiaB often say it's then signficant. That's pretty reasonable if one is making high-quality productions, perhaps less so for stuff going on, say, YouTube.
