Listeners Are Effectively Able to Find Audible Differences with High-Resolution Audio

A new study by Dr. Joshua Reiss of the Centre for Digital Music, Queen Mary University of London (QMUL), published in the June issue of the Journal of the Audio Engineering Society (JAES), concludes that in the majority of cases listeners can hear a difference between standard audio and better-than-CD quality, known as high-resolution audio (HRA). The study, involving over 12,000 different trials, is the first to apply formal meta-analysis techniques to audio engineering research.
