Okay, this is a replication under different playback hardware. These are <$10 in-ear earphones. Apologies, but there's no brand name listed on them, so I don't know the make. Overall, I'd call them "dull" by comparison to my Beyerdynamics, and maybe weak in bass (no surprise), a little harsh on mids, not too bad. Very good seal actually, so isolation is at least close to comparable. Powered by on-the-motherboard audio chip for Dell Optiplex 780. Manual says it's "ADI 1984A High Definition Audio Codec - Integrated on System Board" ("Codec" ). Device Manager is even less forthcoming, just calls it "High Definition Audio Device". This is with File 3, which was the originally requested LAME 3.99.5_vc6 encoder. Planned set of 12. I have another requested encoding to do for 3100L, otherwise I think there's nothing more to be learned from this Ravel, unless someone has a point they want to pursue. foo_abx 1.3.4 report foobar2000 v1.2.8 2013/09/19 16:50:18 File A: E:\Ravel_Test_File_2_short.wav File B: E:\Ravel_Test_File_3_short.mp3 16:50:18 : Test started. 16:50:48 : 01/01 50.0% 16:51:18 : 02/02 25.0% 16:51:28 : 02/03 50.0% 16:51:44 : 03/04 31.3% 16:52:00 : 04/05 18.8% 16:52:49 : 05/06 10.9% 16:53:09 : 06/07 6.3% 16:53:30 : 07/08 3.5% 16:54:30 : 08/09 2.0% 16:55:22 : 09/10 1.1% 16:56:52 : 10/11 0.6% 17:00:00 : 10/12 1.9% 17:00:08 : Test finished. ---------- Total: 10/12 (1.9%)
