I just saw this and I will post some results, but I am afraid that I won't be able to do so until next week.

(going to a music festival)

Notice how all the "golden ears" in this forum avoid this!

I will give this a shot once I get my stax lambdas and my av710. I am pretty sure I would fail with my sr80 and integrated sound.

I'd like to give this a go but I do have one concern about the test. Presumably it is using Java sound libraries, which means it's going through Windows kmixer.

I always listen with kernel streaming so I get a pure bitstream to the DAC. Anything that goes through kmixer is being resampled to 48khz, and although I have not ABX tested I'm fairly sure I can tell the difference.

No, Kmixer will not resample if there is a single stream playing. It only resamples if two or more streams of varying sample rates play together.

Sadly this thread doesn't get a lot of attention, wonder why

Gave it a quick try myself a few days ago, no success, was guessing all the way. I'm going to give it one more go and try to take it more seriously, however, I think the result will be somewhat the same..

Please do show your results to others though. The more people actually participate the more accurate the results will be.

Yes, the more flawed data the more accurate the flawed results will be...

 

[unclejr]

My understanding of this test is that it requires a computer rig?

... ah, hence it being in this subcategory?

I'll do it again then. I gave up on the second comparison because I was just guessing.

I made the same kind of poll a while ago. It was flawed, sure, but it also showed that most people here are not able to hear the difference between a well encoded lossy file and a lossless one.

I'll tell you why I'm not taking the test and probably others.
The set up conditions and instructions are too much for my limited interest in the subject.

This is what happens when you do not give such strict instructions.
