Anyway, ABX testing has been around forever, and it works. Its used extensively in the recording industry.
Anyone who is willing to invest the time and effort can learn it and use it to compare audio components, digital files, whatever. I've used it mainly to evaluate cables. I was able to replace costly Audioquest cables with a much more cost-effective brand.
