I suggest you take your originals, process them with the processes to a 32 bit float result or a 24 bit result, then zip or rar them to save space on the download. Let's not SHRINK the very things we want to evaluate!

Dear Bob, the originals were 48/24 in case of 1) and 44/24 in case of 2). I simply (and automatically) dithered both originals and the results and got 16 bit files. The processes were actually done at 24 bit in all cases. I may try to keep in 24 bit even for the results. But on the other hand, it is the CD format (44/16) that will get as a result to the listeners ...
