Why the hell would he bother with such a convoluted pipe-content-through-a-series-of-external-converters approach rather than directly comparing the same high quality feed through multiple native recording resolutions?
It makes no sense whatsoever. I am constantly amused by the contrived and indirect "kiss your elbow" test procedures some engineers go to in order to prove a point. His failed.

Maslow's Hammer?
This was done some time ago, before the era of computer audio and widespread hi-res PCM recordings, high quality sample rate converter software, and widespread studio quality DACs. Sony and the RIAA can also be blamed for the SACD copy protection requiring the use of the "analog hole". Also, he had a hardware ABX box.

Is that how you would characterize 2007?

2007 was the publication date. I don't know when the actual experiments were performed. Thanks to the AES I would have to pay to download the copy of the paper that popped up on Google and unfortunately Brad mailed me a copy in hard copy a while back and I've misplaced it. I assume the paper itself will tell when the work was done, or at least the submission date of the paper to JAES.

E Brad was comparing Redbook to SACD - which has been around for a decade now. If that's news to him, then he's not exactly with the plan.

It was great taking a trip down memory lane! Ol' Andy19191 really cracked me up - and not just me, but some RE's as well. That was a hoot! Thanks! I do need to check the archives more often when I'm feeling blue. That cheered me right up! lol
