"You're reasoning with a lynch mob."
Well, when anyone decides the paper is no good without reading it, I have to agree there's no point in arguing with that person.
We tried to present the data necessary to prove our result -- that if high-bit audio sounds better, the extra bits are not responsible. If the equipment we used was defective in any audible way, the subjects would have heard the difference, so any errors of the type we are alleged to have made would have led to the opposite outcome. That's why, for example, the gain stage that we used to match the levels of the CD link to the original was in series with the CD link. When subjects heard the high-bit audio, it wasn't in the circuit. So if it had an audible flaw, again the experiment wouldn't have come out as it did.
In the meantime, we are planning to make available the details we left out for the purposes of clarity and brevity. That handout/email should be ready this coming week if anyone here is interested. -- E. Brad
