I still haven't heard a satisfactory explanation:

How results of a test - double or single, blind or sighted, doesn't matter at all - achieved by persons A,B,C,D,E and F using audio system X, pertain to person G, using audio system Y? To be even more pedantic, X and Y here are system/room combinations, not just systems.

Unless we're talking about a particular person's test results, applied ONLY to that person and his audio system, all this "DBT" rhetoric is pure, unadulterated nonsense - one of the most egregious examples being infamous Meyer-Moran "CD vs. Hi-Rez" so-called "test".

To exaggregate a bit (just a bit) - why not fill a room with a bunch of deaf blind monkeys, ask them to listen to CD and hi-rez recordings through AM radio, and declare the results an ultimate truth?
