" It's about an "unintentional" blind test and the
audibility of differences in digital files."

It was not clear to me if this was a statement of opinion
or a fact. Judging by your refusal to comment on it I
take it as another unfounded opinion of high-ender.

Am I right about it?

Stereophile publishes so much technical gibberish that
whatever cover price is, in my view, it is a vaste of
money. Magazine that keeps Michael Fremer on a payroll is
not worth of serious attention. When this article will be
available online I will read it and then we can continue
discussion.

We'be been through a number of these unintentional blind test games before.
The odds of there being a proper unintentional blind test about the same as
the odds of someone becoming an unintentional billionaire.

The way the story goes is that it was planned to be just an ordinary sighted
evaluation, but then someone realized that the information they thought they
were seeing was wrong, so now they want to fantasize that the test was a
proper DBT.

Thing is that it takes more than mere blindness to make a proper test
comparing different formats of media - the test must be level-matched and
time-synched as well.
