In Reply to: Test with 24/96 vs. 16/44 LITTLE TO NO DIFFERENCE. posted by Archimago on February 13, 2010 at 09:00:59:
A good data point.As a single test it proves nothing to us (although it may be 100% conclusive for you personally for your current setup), but a large body of such tests might enable us to make some sound conclusions about 16/44 vs. 24/96. I personally have also not heard significant, recognizable differences between 16/44 and 24/96 on my system in blind tests (nor has my wife, whose ears I trust more than mine).
This single data point is infinitely more valuable than a subjective listening test, however (e.g. "Guys I downloaded the new version of UltimatePlaybackProgram and it sounds so much better than version 9.7.4.2.1!!! Check it out!"), which not only hold no value whatsoever for us but also has probably caused further confusion for the test subject himself.
