Same here, first couple of seconds of track B gave it away. This was a little fun exercise with my coffee.
I wonder if it would have been even more apparent using my home desktop rig rather than my crappy laptop headphone out.
Good thread, I can keep my audiophile card another day. But tomorrow, who knows.

The most obvious part of the track for me was in the first few seconds. It becomes a little harder to distinguish afterwards (at least for my ears).
It depends a lot on the particular music as to whether I will hear much of a difference. If the sample was Norah Jones or Astrud Gilberto, I'd be able to tell in an instant. But with busy rock music, the difference isn't so prominent for me.
