The kind of signal is the same, but the quality differs. Drums are at first smeared; quality is not as good as other contenders. On the second part of the loud range, drums are even more distorted. Difference is not very important (probably because the part located in the "good half" isn't that good); I probably hadn't noticed it if I didn't especially take care of checking the quality on the two extremity of the sample for all encodings. This is the fifth or the sixth samples I suspect to not sound equally good, with drop in quality occuring even if nothing in the signal could explain this sudden change. I really fear that one unique encoder is concerned by this issue. I never noticed similar phenomenon in the past :-/ --------------------------------------- ABX Results:
