RE: High Resolution - Fact or Fiction?

Hey, I was going to say that! :)

I'd only add that, even if the people conducting the test cover those bases, there's still a bump in the road. The downsampled version has gone through an extra set of electronics (the sample rate converter and the subsequent digital recorder), which add their own sonic signature to the resulting file. In an effort to reduce the number of variables to something closer to "one", it would make sense to also run the original HR file through the converter, maintaining the original bit depth and sample rate, and record it on the same digital recorder, even though no downsampling is actually done. At least then, the new "unchanged" HR file has gone through the same set of electronics as the downsampled version.
