Agreed. As told by PM, my tiny correction on your ESB transfer was to give a little wideness to the sound and a bit dynamic to the highs. My Sennheiser headphones really don' t improve the aesthetic of the sound, so it preserves me from beeing caught by a "wrong sense of beauty", or "power". My hi-fi is a Marrantz player with a Sansui amplifier, and the speakers are Phillips F9412 three driver system. However I use to compare my work on both a cheap mini player and the other computer I have, sometimes. I tend to remain honest considering the result.
However, I may post your original 16bit transfer if you or anyone here prefers. Any of the two version worth the listen anyway - there's no such a difference ! ;)
