Yup, I think mainstream computer audio has difficulty reproducing good signals for us to ABX'ing these "lossless" signals. The first problem would be probably be the dynamic range. I am now actually trying it (16bit dither by foobar, on-board ALC888, desktop speaker). I know headphones would be better but the audio output is too high and too noisy. I wonder if Live24 would do a better job.

R185 is doing great at piping. Something like "flac -d -c hdcd_orig_16bit.flac | hdcd | flac -5 -f - -o decoded_24bit.flac" is now working perfectly. Thanks.

A foobar plugin would be great too.
