hi

we'll need an actual spectrum analyzer graph to be sure what you have.. please set the span of the view to about 2-3 seconds and the bandwidth to 0-20kHz.

lowpass filtering isn't the only indicative trait of lossy data compression.. it is circumstantial, at best, as some completely linear recordings may also roll off for different reasons.
