Well, if you believe the test is valid, it simply proves that hi-res sounds the same as low-res. In other words, it disproves your stipulation that low-res sounds better than hi-res because the test shows you really can't hear the difference. On the other hand, if you believe you can hear the difference, then you're simply wrong that low-res sounds better than hi-res because I can hear the difference, too; and I know hi-res sounds better! ;-)Good luck,

. . . half the listeners in the test got the results correct. So perhaps this result means that some listeners (approximately half) can't hear the difference between hi-rez and CD-rez, while others (also approximately half - in this case the other half) can. I'd like to hear a lot more details about that test before I would be comfortable concluding anything.
Having said all this, I've heard some VERY well recorded CD's out there! ;-)
I don't think anyone got the test results correct. The test showed that no listener had a success rate better than about 50%, which means nobody could prove they could hear the difference.
I'm afraid the article will require me to take a closer look, but as I read it, they go through a number of findings, not just 1 conclusion.
One that I thought was interesting was that trained listeners could hear a difference, but they guessed which was the high rez version incorrectly.
Best,
Erik
