Where are the equally scholarly pieces of research that show that some
other form of testing for audio differences have merit?

Define "scholarly".

Scholarly method - or as it is more commonly called, scholarship - is the
body of principles and practices used by scholars to make their claims about
the world as valid and trustworthy as possible, and to make them known to
the scholarly public. In its broadest sense, scholarship can be taken to
include the scientific method, which is the body of scholarly practice that
governs the sciences. This article focuses on scholarship in the narrower
sense, covering rational inquiry in areas that are mostly too complex as yet
to be treated by science. These include history as well as the creations of
the human mind in the form of art, music, literature, religion, philosophy,
and cultural beliefs.
