I most certainly have greatly reduced sine wave response to you even, but I still have no trouble hearing the differences between FredericV's X and Y files, with the original 24/96 down converted to 16/44.1 and both put in the same 24/96 containers.

I promise that I would, and help you review your results!!! John Quote To compare your hearing at each rate, then make sure that no difference is in the state of your equipment... Do all tests with the eventual test material all at the same sample rate, but 'bump' the material down to the test rate and back up to a higher rate for technical transparency. This 'bump down and back up' needs to be done carefully with well qualified software and proper techniques, or there can be biases in the results. John Most members will not be capable of doing the above without technical assistance. IF differences are found as a result of these tests, then I feel sure that several prominent members will help to not review the results, but attempt to disprove the validity of the results. I.O.W. find fault with the methodology used. There will be claims that the size of the samples were not statistically adequate for example. N.B. I am not suggesting that this applies to you though.

In theory, this should bias the results towards the 24 bit files. Agreed. However, try convincing the Objective members that additional processing can result in a small amount of audible degradation.

Apparently all files started out as high res recordings and were down sampled and then up sampled again.

Most likely. However it will be interesting to see if FrederickV can improve on that area, with both the down conversion to 16/44.1 and the upsampling again to 24/96 (or whatever) as he recently reported.

It would appear it was a non randomized sample group who self-selected to respond to a survey regarding Hi rez vs Hi rez-downsampled/upsampled audio. Surveys like that are easily manipulated by vested interests, especially when most Audiophiles feel they don't need to prove anything to the sceptics. Has Mark Waldrep publicly admitted that he must have been imagining the differences he claimed for his high res recordings ? I seriously doubt that..😉 All that he appears to have achieved with this ill conceived exercise is to seriously damage his company's profitability and his own reputation.

While the sampling rate is increased, the actual resolution is not. That applies especially to many SACDs that contained no musical content whatsoever past 21kHz, with in many cases them apparently using the same RBCD mastering .
