Why not try this and see if you can tell a difference? You could record
something from a CD onto a Minidisk. Sample direct from the CD, and apply
your mods. Then sample from the Minidisk and apply your mods. Is there a
difference? My gut feel is the only difference you *might* hear is a
difference in levels. Most of the same distribution of frequencies should
be in a sample that originated from a minidisc so as far as filtering
goes, it should sound the same...
