;>This is speculation. Based on my limited understanding of the perceptual ;>coding used, the overall loudness of the material won't affect the ;>compression. There must be some pathological cases, though (music ;>where you really can hear the fact that some info has been thrown ;>away). I'm curious to know what they would be (please, no anecdotes; ;>it should be easy enough to predict and detect if you know exactly ;>how the compression is working, and how perceptual masking in ;>humans operates). ;> ;>But I suspect that the defects you heard, which were also reported ;>by many other listeners at that time, were due to "quick and dirty" ;>implementations of ATRAC. My MZ-R3's performance on low-level material ;>is stunning, and indistinguishable from the CD source (or from LP ;>source). I own a MZ-R3 and i can't hear the difference copying from a CD using optical digital cabling. When using analogue cableing, i could distinctive hear a difference in the imaging qualities. bigs
