I tried listening for differences sighted and per ABX (with Sennheiser HD700 driven by RME Adi-2 Pro FS) on two different days and the outcome is null, no stable difference I could reliably detect. Just guessing more or less so I didn't even bother to complete the ABX runs exect for one short try, with 3/8 result :-(
Need to test with speakers though I have little hope to fare much better...

My first attempt on headphones. I thought one file was brighter than the other, but Foobar says I can't tell.

I started another trial, intending to pay more attention and practice a little. But for the first time I used the crossfade. I certainly I do like the crossfade because it's seamless. The switch glitch always bothered me, making me hear a difference when there was none.
After listening to these two files with crossfade I concluded that there just ins't enough of a difference to bother about. 😉

Could not notice it in the bass, the drums, the guitar, the voice. So no worries.

What I find interesting is the lack of responses by the I can hear the difference between everything crowd. Seems they can't hear squat. And I don't need to hear the same excuses for the hundreth time. Thank you Pavel for the bit of sanity left in this forum.
