please post 2-3 second spans, in color, from Cool Edit Pro 2.x / Adobe Audition, so we can actually see something.
Here you go in color as you wish.

Re: ATRAC or LPCM ?

Could by lossy, there is a definite drop off after 17k ish? I think I see some blocks too.

Re: ATRAC or LPCM ?

Sort of looks like a cutoff at almost 17khz, and MAYBE a little lego block-y. Honestly still a little hard to tell - screen resolution is still a little too low, and it's making the pixels a little blurry! A higher resolution screenshot would be a little better, IMHO...

I do see a bit of a 20k band especially on the right side, though.... Hmmm...

OK, here's a question, how were these files transferred to the computer? Digital transfer via USB, or did you play them in at real time via the analog line out to your analog line in on a soundcard or something?

Any more info than just a screenshot would help to identify what you're doing. The more we know, the more we can figure out...

Re: ATRAC or LPCM ?

Frequency range / HF roll off are not indicative of lossy data compression.



All those samples look lossy. I have a question about one of them, but they're all compromised, I'm pretty sure. It's hard to be certain because of the low resolution of the screen caps

I'm sorry to keep asking for things, but please try to make your screenshots at least 300dpi, else it becomes difficult to read what's going on in the spectrum analyzer. Low res jpgs blur details pretty badly because... Get this. Lol... It's lossy compression

Re: ATRAC or LPCM ?

Next time maybe post small sections in FLAC instead of having to give 1000 different screen shots lol
