In Reply to: "Research Finds Audible Differences with High-Resolution Audio" posted by Bromo33333 on June 29, 2016 at 12:22:39:
Mark Waldrep, who has consistently chided the industry for issuing recordings originally recorded at standard CD resolution in "hi-rez" containers (especially in the rock and pop world - I think some listeners here have posted that they've been burned by this on certain titles), doesn't seem to contradict any of Reiss's findings in this paper (at least not directly). However, he feels that Reiss should define his terms a bit (no pun intended!) better, so that we know whether or not these "hi-rez" recordings in the analyzed studies actually have actual ultrasonic content in them (!). (This information seems to appear in some of the analyzed studies, but not others.) There are some good comments at the end of the article too.
