In Reply to: A lot of pro recording people have tested DSD, 192kHz/24 bit and 44.1kHz/16 bit compared to a live mic signal posted by Ole Lund Christensen on February 14, 2007 at 10:16:14:

Now, on to more serious concerns. I've done what you've suggested and yes, there are differences. On the other hand - and I won't mention any names - I've also reviewed one of the dual layer SACD/CD discs. The SACD layer sounded so much better but the CD layer was bad, bad, BAD! Worse than the original CD pressing. It almost sounded like they purposefully made the CD layer sound bad in order to tout SACD. In this case, the test called for in this thread would appear to be valid and a simple comparison not so.
