If its so easy, why not give the other files a try?


I haven't tried the other files with a proper ABX utility, since the one
I wrote for OSX doesn't support sample rates greater than 48k. At some
point when I have more free time I'll update it, but for now I can't do
proper ABX testing for the 96k files.

Also, by just listening to pure sine waves, I can tell that my hearing
drops off at just about 21khz, even when outputting with my 828 in 96khz
mode. This is through both my MDR7506s and my HR624s. Could be a
function of their lowpass filters, but more likely just the fact that
I'm not a bat.

I'm also 19, though, so that may have something to do with the good HF
hearing.


That, and a relatively sheltered life could help quite a bit. However,
younger people have tried and failed for whatever reason.


I'm probably fairly sheltered compared to lots of my peers. I don't go
clubbing or to rock concerts, and when I go to loud dance parties I try
to stay on the opposite side of the room from the PA and not be in that
room for more than 2 hours or so in a night. And of course I wear
hearing protection when operating a chop saw.
