You know ? I tried ABX testing....and I only get 30% correct from Highresolution vs CD quality.....it means the differences are there. But I don't like this ABX testing, it was meant to confuse me.
Same 15 secs clip with HR 16/48 and 16/44.1.....I will later experiment on 24/192 vs 16/44.1 and see,
1/ the differences in between these two files are very subtles.....as 10 cents differences in $100 bills....
2/ it doesn't allow me to listen to the way I want, say in a 15 secs track, when I restart A or B it was just a pause....hence it confused me more
3/ X will keep playing without my ability to replay X on the same file....whenever I play X, it will always random A or B......it gets even more confusing
But you want to know what differences that I hear ? Mainly drums beats as these are the easiest out of all subtles details....the Highresolution drums and beats are with a tad more Booms and Rumblings.....like I said 10 cents in 100$....the rest are even harder to tell....so on another hand...
The conclusions
it is almost impossible to tell the differences from high resolution vs CD quality.
The differences are there.....
I rather enjoy high resolution music than Cd quality, why not ? I love music, and I will do what I can to improve it......isn't this one of the reason why I have different earphones, headphones....still buying ? Hell.....IEMS and different cans sound worlds apart.....and it is still fun to swap them out after a few days to listen to biggrin.gif
