Sorry if this comes across as offensive, but you've just wasted two of my minutes on this bogus test.

As identical as we could achieve.. IMHO, that's not a big feat. Copying computer files are guaranteed to give the same results, less some extremely serious error should arrise and then the machine would warn that the copy command failed.

The files looks identical, they sum to zero when polarity is reversed in one file and when checked in a hex editor, the data chunk is identical in the beginning and ends of the files. Didn't check the middle though.


They're identical - so why shouldn't they sound different?

Of course they do! Things always sounds different from each second to the next. The human touch. If "A sounds better" according to enough "golden ears", A will sound better to most readers of this forum. That doesn't mean there IS a difference.
