RE: Yesterday I did some comparisons between 96kHz and 192kHz on my MAC Mini

Were you able to obtain statistically valid ABX results when you did the comparison?

I'm curious, because on hydrogenaudio, at bitrates above 300kbps, no one has been able to show they can distinguish between lossless and lossy.

I can distinguish between 192kbps and 256kbps, only just, and even I gave up between 320kbps and lossless. And I can normally hear differences between different dithering algorithms.

As for 44.1 vs 96 vs 192, I do hear a difference, mainly caused by reduced ringing effects at higher frequencies. I don't claim to hear any difference due to ultrasonics.
