[Please Help] 24bit to 16bit truncation dithering and noise shaping soundstage test
There are 11 wav lossless files for the test this time, contained one 24bit master file and 10 down sampled + dithered 16bit wav files. Guaranteed there are absolutely no any other additional processes to those 10 16bit files except ditherings, noise shapings and truncations. And the music inside is a public open free copyright orchestra music.
Ditherings, noise shapings and softwares in-used for this test are: Cakewalk Sonar x2a: Rectangular, Triangular, POW-R 1, POW-R 2, POW-R 3 Sony Soundforge 11: Izotope MBit+ (normal, high, ultra), Waves IDR (normal, ultra)
All the wav files can be downloaded from this folder:

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9lH7xOnWXVhR2Nrc00zRk9wVmM/edit?usp=sharing This test want you all to help finding and answering these following 5 questions after you've listened and examined them all:
1. Which 16bit file(s) of them have/has the most nearest sound quality and fidelity details to the original 24bit master? 2. Are the soundstage stereo widths of all the 16bit files changed comparing to the original 24bit master, whatever how much or how less difference? 3. Are the soundstage near-far depths of all the 16bit files changed comparing to the original 24bit master, whatever how much or how less difference? 4. Which 16bit file(s) of them have/has the most nearest soundstage stereo width(s) to the original 24bit master, or even exactly the same width(s)? 5. Which 16bit file(s) of them have/has the sound(s) or color(s) you love the most in personal?
The answers of question 1, 4 and 5 can be only one 16bit file or multiple files ranked exactly.
Thank you all for your precious opinion.
Regarded!
