This has been covered before but I havnt seen anyone reference Sound Liaison. At http://www.soundliaison.com/all-categories/6-compare-formats you can download two tracks in 4 formats:
A: 96/24 WAV
B: 96/24 FLAC
C: 16/44 WAV (CD)
D: 320kbps MP3
All the different formats have the same source file 96/24 WAV (Studio Master).
A second sampler can be downloaded at http://soundliaison.com/all-categories/185-ifi-micro-idac2-music-sampler using coupon code ifimicroidac2
Registration is a little cumbersome, but I just downloaded the zip file successfully. Will do some serious listening tonight.
I know http://www.2l.no/hires/index.html also offers some comparison tracks for free download. Any others you know of?
