Howdy

Ironically one of the papers in their references doesn't seem to have these problems, it gives much more detail about equipment used, music selections, details of the test protocol, some demographics of the test subjects, a serious digression into the four outliers who could hear a clear difference, etc.:

D. Blech and M. Yang, “DVD-Audio versus SACD: Perceptual Discrimination of Digital Coding Formats,” presented at the 116th Convention of the Audio Engineering Society, Berlin, Germany, 2004 May 8–11, convention paper 6086

I certainly don't know what the differing constrains are for being published by AES in these two different fora, but after reading the paper which is the subject of this thread reading the cited paper above was a breath of fresh air.
