One of the most important things that jj pointed out for double blind tests, is that the people who are taking the tests must be trained as to what to listen for. I know of no consumer magazine who has bothered to train the people who are taking the tests.
"When they found out that if you turned up the volume a little you could hear a difference between hi-res and hi-res trimmed back to CD resolution they changed equipment."
Anyone with a basic practical knowledge understands that if you wish to reproduce digital audio to what it is capable of you will need, quiet electronics, quiet rooms, and speakers with very good low level linearity.
But hey, why cloud the issues with facts?
d.b.
if you turned up the volume a little you could hear a difference between hi-res and hi-res trimmed back to CD. Then not the same. Not its a matter of which is better? But there is an audible difference. Maybe ebcaue of increasd sn you need louder volumes to hear the diffeence.
