There are three of them, and Alleline.
For these tests the authors used
'audiophile' DVD-A recordings
(mostly classical music and jazz IIRC), all of them 24-bit, 96
or or 192 kHz, and had the listeners compare them to a version
transcoded to CD standards (44.1 kHz, 16 bit). Two results
emerged from this:
1. Nobody could hear any difference between the original recordings,
reproduced using the best equipment available, and the transcoded
versions.
2. Almost all listeners preferred the 'audiophile' recordings to
other versions of the same music released on CD.
well, you sure loose quality downsampling to 16bit, that's what they heard
