B, but I might have been imagining it. I even used my ultra-expensive headphones. I think the bitrate thing is kinda bs. I can tell a 96 file, but anything above that counts as pretty perfect in my book.

i thought b sounded better too, using ipod headphones, but honestly don't think it's a different that really matters in 95 / 100 listening experiences. It only matters a tiny bit in those other 5%.

did we get it right?
