Try ABX using samples taken from the same master

Don't bother trying to compare samples derived from LP and CD in this manner, because who knows if the same master was used, and in any event the LP noise is a dead giveaway.

You can get free high-res tracks from Archive.org, and in the past, HDTracks has offered free sampler albums too. I'd generate all lower-res tracks from the same high-res files, making sure that levels remain unchanged. For grins, try high-res vs 16/44.1 vs Variable Bit-Rate MP3, etc.

There is at least one free ABX comparator (ABXTester) available through Apple's App Store
