Got this test online, and I gotta say, I am horrible at this.
I first used the direct computer audio out from my Dell to a BA200, I can't tell a difference one way or the other.
Then I used the Stoner Acoustic UD100, to Beta22 amp to HE500 (I know, I need to upgrade my source), and while I can tell the 128kps sound for 5 out of the 6 tests (ironically, I couldn't tell the difference for the Neil Young song when he came up with Pono), but I CONSISTENTLY picked 320 kps music over WAV, with the exception of the classical music.
I can hear that the 128k music is the worse quality, and that is somewhat apparent to me, but I can only tell there are slight differences between 320k and wav, and even then, I prefer 320k.
Man, I am really bad at this.
If interested, post and see how you did and share your experiences.
