General Comments:
tested on LOUDEST (and  REPRESENTATIVE of "metal" genre) part of the sample (second part). Results are very different on the first one (1R is really good on the beginning, but awful on the second).

ABX is not necessary (except maybe in order to find small difference between the two best files - but for 96 kbps it's probably not judicious).

1L Comment: good (maybe the best) on the first part, but can't code correctly the loudest part of the sample (probably more representative of the entire song and album).

5L Comment: same as 3R: but sound is less wounded on the beginning (still bad, but not catastrophic), and also more than correct on the loudest.
