NLOTH in 320kbps sounds suprisingly better

I'm trying to download what I hope is a 320 version from Fullalbums direct download - (not sure if I'm allowed to link to this site! Please remove if necessary).

There's a rumour going around that the original 256 file that most people have as actually a Transcode - ie an inferior re-encoding of an already compressed track. This would be bizarre as it was a legitimate download from getmusic.com but apparently those in the know who analyze these thing have come to that conclusion - just getting this from the discussion of the album over at atease, the Radiohead forum.

I have to say, the V0 version (variable bitrate) i found linked to on the atease forum DOES actually sound considerably better, particularly on headphones.
 
Has anyone received it yet?? I'm literally bursting with anticipation lol.
 
that's what i'm wondering too. i downloaded the V0 last night, and it sounds a lot better than the first leak we got.

Heres an analysis of the quality:

V0 is slightly worse than 320 but probably not enough for someone to notice!
