We cannot measure everything the ear can hear, so how can we have measurements of items/things to tell us what we will or cannot hear? Hmmm.
Forking from the cables thread to a discussion of whether hi-res is audible.....
While on the subject of embarrassing testing...
Let me preface this by saying I have invested in hi-res audio tracks, both on my server and in my Qobuz subscription. I've always felt I could tell the difference, although there are duds in hi-res just like redbook. And some great redbook recordings.
Going through this test, particularly looking at the control groups, is certainly humbling. I particularly like the "hardware reviewers" group.
