"the same signal passed through a 16-bit/44.1-kHz “bottleneck.”

What's a "Bottleneck" and where can we buy them?

Unless an audiophile used a similar "Bottleneck" in his audio system, which seems very unlikely, test results based on the use of a "Bottleneck" would not apply to him.

We already have 30 years of blind testing that consistently shows audiophiles can't even come close to proving their claims that "everything sounds different", except with speakers and two components playing at different SPL's, so why would an audio club waste time testing some theoretical "Bottleneck"?

I suppose their next test will be metal coat hangers versus speaker wire?

High resolution digital recordings/discs are much more likely to be sold on the basis of better sound quality so the engineers involved are much less likely to provide the usual LOUD compressed overprocessed pop recordings that seem so common on Redbook CDs.
