A transfered stereo file of a given length (minute:second) will be the
same size regardless of whether it comes from a compressed MD
recording, a compressed HiMD recording, or an uncompressed (PCM) HiMD
recording.
To clarify, AIFF (and the PC equivalent WAV) is not lossy(!). These
files are full-resolution uncompressed renderings of either compressed
MD (or HiMD) files, or perfect copies of uncompressed PCM HiMD files.
