    OK, I took the bait. Had to downsample to 88.2kHz as my DEQ2496 can't play them. At first I thought B had slightly more forward aspirants and sibalants, but that would have been too easy.

    So I cheated and put both the original files into Audacity and subtracted one from the other (inverted and mix/rendered). The tracks A & B are identical.

    The mix is 16-bit, but if the differences are out past the 17th bit, good luck hearing them ;)

    Haha, yes, I know. They actually null to -135dB. I realised this after I posted it, massive self-own. I thought I'd wait before fessing up and see how long it would take for someone to spot it.
