I think you are misreading what I wrote. I made no comment at all on
the Meyer/Moran tests or conclusions. I merely pointed out: 1) that this
is not the first series of blind tests E. Brad Meyer has been involved
in where a null result appeared to be the desired outcome; and 2) that
the source player used, if it was indeed the Pioneer as noted by other
posters, has a measured dynamic range no better than 16-bit CD, so could
hardly be expected to preserve the hi-rez aspects of the new media.
As I said, my copy of the new JAES issue has not yet arrived. When it
does, I will certainly comment on it if necessary. If that's okay by you?

Well, all sophistry apart, what you did is basically prejudice its value before even familiarizing yourself with it.I'm also curious where the evidence is that "a null result appeared to be the desired outcome" in this research, since, like you, I haven't read the paper, either.
And yes, thanks so much for asking; we all appreciate reasoned, well-informed, and fair commentary where we can find such.

Why would you choose a dynamically crippled player for such a test if you truly sought a fair and objective answer to the question?

There is absolutely zilch evidence that they chose a dynamically crippled player, The reference to a Pioneer 563A refers to a open day blindtest that BAS conducted way back in October 2004.Music making the painting, recording it the photograph
Unlike any serious "peer reviewed" test worthy of consideration, the systems evaluated were not stated at all. For all we know, they used an iPod.
