i think for the most part mp3 compresses more depending on you selected bit rate and/or sample rate. WAV sounds more clear for the most part. Although to my ears I don't hear any difference when i go from wav with a sample rate of 44.1khz and bit rate of 32 bit (and if its the final render of a mix i with have my dither options turned on to mp3 at with a bitrate of 320kbps. idk how much soundcloud compresses. i've never heard anything to much from my tracks via sound cloud, but i have heard others have issues with soundcloud limiting and compressing their work. :/

if the file is already 128 does it still reconvert??
also upload time is considerably more with wav than mp3, considering ireland's appallingly shitty broadband infrastructure this isnt gonna change soon |

always worth to try with wav if mastered properly or mixed well. never mind uploading 320kb instead, wont be that much of a difference.
anyways, whatever you will upload there, SC will compress again, dunno about the format it will be converted to.
im not fine with the headroom solution, give it yourself a go and compare. imo it sounds best on soundcloud when compressed and mastered properly.
any file uploaded will be converted again if download is enabled, you give a solution to the user to get the original file. it will be the same you uploaded....
hope was kinda help, cheers
