RE: INTERNET BLIND TEST: Linear vs. Minimum Digital Filters...

I tried comparing the files as suggested (176.4 to Mytek) and with upsampling and conversion to DSD128 by HQPlayer with various settings: poly-sinc-short vs. poly-sinc-short-mp and DSD7 vs. DSD5.1. The various software settings each sounded slightly different, but my preliminary take is that the essential differences between the A's and the B's remain. This is consistent with the fact that filter settings at 44.1 are much more critical than filter settings at 176.4.

These are nice sounding clips, but perhaps not ones to place maximum stress on the filters as they don't have much high frequency content above 18 kHz. I suspect that brass or cymbals might make the differences less subtle.
