The distortions I speak of (perhaps distortion isn't
the right word) is that hollow, almost ringing sort of
sound that is common with heavily compressed audio. I
hear it only on high frequencies (like cymbals, "sss"
sounds, etc. And I hear it no matter which computer or
player I play it with. But when I resample the 44.1
kHz source wav (ripped from audio CD) to 48 kHz, and
encode at q1 or higher, and the lossy distortions go
away.
