Note:
  Two different encodings are now being used for listening on Headphones noted above. one folder is encoded in 16-bit 96khz setting and other is 24-bit 96khz setting for testing (both flac and mp3 are in folders with 16-bit sample widths and a previous 24-bit sample width encoding is being tested with both 16-bit encodings to decipher whether one or else is 'best' fitting the model response)
