Thanks Mac, that is something to think about. As you are speaking about the compression of a single instrument. That is good to know. I have never heard any of that talked about here. Though I don't drink alcohol so my analogy is...you have Flavor-Aid and then you have Kool-Aid...lol...at any rate I will keep this information in mind. Sounds like this compression isn't going to be any noticeable difference on most of these files. Some possibly no difference on some of these single instruments. I could save 200 dollars or so by not going for the audiophile.
