Hi Chris,

Will this help you figure out those transient bits?

I downloaded your files and made a test CD. One Mark Knopfler HDCD song and your 4 test files in this order.

1_Cannibals_08.wav
2_hf_sweep_nf.wav
3_hf_sweep_tf.wav
4_impulse_train_nf.wav
5_impulse_train_tf.wav

I played the CD with RCA SPDIF to a late-90's vintage Parasound DAC1600. The HDCD light came on for all the tracks.

The Parasound has the original PMD-100 chip configured to decode HDCD, oversample 8X and feed the Burr-Brown DACs.

I connected the analog out through a passive volume control. ADCOM SLC-505. Then to the line in input on a PC with NVidia sound chipset. Asus A7N8X-E.

Then I recorded a 24-96 wave file of the line in. If you would like the file , let me know the best way to get it to you. It's too big for email. 26.6 mb compressed with flac. I cut off most of the Knopfler song and left the ending in.
