RE: I'll bet my discernment between hi-rez and CD-rez would be very high. . .

Touch� !!

However I did say " here" where the space is too confined to house anything greater than vanilla two channel.

What is a subtext to my remarks is a realisation that the whole high-resolution concept started in the late 1990s when the attainment of most commercial CD players was little more than adequate. SACD (for example) came as a reaction to that. However developments over the ensuing decades have meant that the margin in subjective performance between redbook and hi-res has narrowed considerably. Which is one reason why SACD was a commercial failure and why IMO there is really little public understanding or demand for hi-res. Just look how slow the turnover of threads in this forum is :-(
