Why not try this and see if you can tell a difference? You could record something from a CD onto a Minidisk. Sample direct from the CD, and apply your mods. Then sample from the Minidisk and apply your mods. Is there a difference? My gut feel is the only difference you *might* hear is a difference in levels. Most of the same distribution of frequencies should be in a sample that originated from a minidisc so as far as filtering goes, it should sound the same... -Jeremy http://users.owt.com/conflux
