I second the agreement...

And what is an even greater leap, stretch, whatever...is the idea put forth in this thread that this study provides evidence, much less proof, that redbook is inadequate, or even distinguishable from higher rez formats. There are no audio systems in this study, not even any complete speaker systems, no music. This provides evidence that listeners can hear a variance in alignment between two identical drivers playing a square wave. Nothing more.

All the rest is wild speculation fueled by wishful thinking. I'm not saying there is no audible difference between redbook and hi-res. I'm just saying that this study takes us no closer to settling that debate.

This one, while it may make many uncomfortable, does:

Multiple systems, multiple rooms, many listener groups of varying expertise and "listening skills," hundreds of trials...and relatively the same results over and over again. Though I'm sure we'll find reasons to invalidate its conclusions. We always do.
