Can you re-do yours in 24/96 kHz? I would like to make sure the difference I am hearing are not do to sample rate conversion issues.

I am playing both files from the Tascam via coax digital output to my Audio Aero. BUT the Audio-Aero upsamples everything fed to it to 24/192 kHz and 96 to 192 is a much simpler (2x) conversion than 88.2 to 192.

By the way I am glad you shipped me the file in 88.2 since it forced me to play my file back from the tascam instead of from my laptop. It seems that the laptop's toslink output is not nearly as good as the coax from the tascam. Now I have to re-evaluate the tascam vs Vinyl comparison I just did. After I do a direct comparison to make sure. Very interesting stuff! Unfortunately I have to take a break to bake a pie for a party I am going to later tonight.

Thanks for going to the trouble to record your copy and sending it to me!
