Exactly as title states, I have received an upgrade of a certain show that I helped leak a while back (if you know which one that is shhhhh ;) I want to test it and be 100% it's lossless before I try to spread it around to everyone. It sounds great and is much better than any other version out there. If anyone can tell me how or is willing to test a sample for me,then message me and I'll give you a clip to preview. *It's a soundboard without Malcolm :) I've said too much. haha -Cheers

http://en.true-audio.com/Tau_Analyzer_-_CD_Authenticity_Detector this is a program being able to analyze the tracks (they must be burned on a cd) in the description it says : "Tau Analyzer is a free program, which can help you to distinguish with reasonable accuracy the original studio-based CDs from poor quality fakes, that have been "reconstructed" using a lossy audio source, such as MP3."

^ I know it will defintely be good since Flick does a great job on providing the best quality boots to everyone. I like what he did on the 'You Shook Me All Night Long' track used at the end of 'Maximum Overdrive' where he slowed it down and edited the original intro of the song into the one used from the film. 'Live In Eighty-Five' was another one I liked which Flick did a great job on improving the quality BIG time, so I am patiently awaiting to see how this one sounds. I know it will be better than the existing boot floating around there soundwise.
