I got it right, slightly clearer voice and the percussion at the end had slightly more slam. Was really obvious. i wonder if it really depends on the quality of the equipment to be able to pick it up.

Two things, really: the orchestra & voice sounding "condensed" and/or "stale", the clarity of the strings at the conclusion

 

[PFKMan23]

Yup.

Got it right the first time. The higher rate has more "air".

Yes, that's how I could tell - listening on GS1000.

surprisingly(or not) ..that i used ksc75 ..and could hear the difference

 

[navmau]

YES! Got it!

 

[Sinsen]

Bah, I can hear absolutely NO difference between the two clips, using my nice Emu0404->Stax 3050 setup...

...now I feel sad

I choose to believe that the whole site is a lie.

I got it with PC speakers at work - the difference seemed very subtle.

 

[Reputator]

Got it wrong, but bad example. If I were to take a lossless track and transcode it into a 128kbps MP3 and a 320kbps MP3 and ABX the two, I'd tell the difference easily. In fact just to test that I wasn't crazy I did just that right after I took that test.

See if you can consistently identify the better sample when someone else switches between the two samples. This should eliminate some of the lucky guesses.

Needed my Samson studio monitors to find the difference but even then it was very subtle, listen to the symbols, it's the most obvious difference I found.

I hope you fellow head-fi'ers forgive me for using my studio monitors

 

[Elluzion]

i was listenin on a pair of crappy headphones. i got it wrong. ohh welll. i only burn my music in losslessss.

I got it right using my laptop's speakers. The difference to me was the lesser sample has less high frequencies and it sounded flatter.

 

[Jabada]

I got it right using my crap Dell HP out + crap Edifier mini-RCA + crap Edifier R1000TCN.
