"Audiophiles have conducted listening tests that reported consistent sound quality differences when noise was added to the low order bit of a 24 bit sound file. According to customary establishment psycho-acoustics such errors are "inaudible". One possible explanation for why these file changes are audible is that small differences in the file are being converted into large differences by DAC artifacts."

Where was this reported and how was this test conducted? Doesn't make sense considering no DAC in existence is capable of accurately reproducing that 24th bit...
