Question: it looks like those evals are using near 100% FLAC, not 192kbps scene rips. I think that would make a difference in the results. Also, I'd be curious to see how another band who supposedly has 'good' production what the results would be. Interesting discussion. I figure to learn a thing or two here. :)

I'll take Last One on Earth over this any day of the week. Cannot stand the trash production on this and the recent Asphyx/HoB stuff.

Judging by the other albums I tested the differences between lossy and lossless codecs in term of dynamic range can be neglected.
