Unfortunately there are still some samples for which the decoder sounds
metallic.  Two can be found here:

(these shorts should not be missing in anybody's collection)

The problem seems to be with files that have 16 instead of 32 subbands.
Samples with 8 subbands are not available so far.

Insights into this problem are, of course, very much welcome.
