Not sure the study proves anything other than that the converters and down sampling algorithms may impose a sonic signature. I appreciate the fact that the article itself raises those points.I would think that down sampling a higher rate recording would help negate any effects that the required filtering might have in the audible range.
So based on the results it seems the converters are pretty close but the decimation algorithm didn't work perform so well.
So though the tests prove listeners could hear a difference it does not conclusively prove the reasons for those differences.
