I don't think that's straight-up lossy, though.
If I had to guess, lossy->analog transfer? It *could* also be 32 kHz DAT with some sort of noise shaping in the resampling algorithm.
Thanks for your reply. Could you please let me know how to do a spectral analysis in Audacity? I can only see how to do a spectrum analysis.
Considering the various sources, and the same wave pattern on all of them, I'd be surprised if was due to 32 khz DAT (I'm pretty sure DAT hasn't come into the lineage of any of them) - that wave pattern is unnatural though, isn't it?
