Apart from 5 trials being on the short side of sufficient. If you can do 4/5 or better four times in a row, it should be pretty solid.
I did that and got 16/20 correct, P(X≥16)=0.006.
I've never managed anything similar to that when performing self administered tests comparing lossless and high bitrate lossy, be it aac, mp3 or ogg, so why can I do it in this case?
The test caused a little stir on Reddit, but I'm not really content with the answers that came there, even when they had a Tidal official taking part in the discussion.
Might it just be a result of choosing a 'bad' or sub-optimal encoder, prioritizing CPU time over transparency?
