Hmmm, remember last year I did the 24-bit vs. 16-bit test here and on a few forums. The 'results did not show significance' (http://archimago.blogspot.ca/2014/06/24-bit-vs-16-bit-audio-test-part-ii.html) for audiophiles being able to differentiate the two test signals.
Shortly later AVS paired with AIX ran a test: http://www.avsforum.com/forum/91-audio-theory-setup-chat/1585994-avs-aix-high-resolution-audio-test-ready-set-go.html and then a "version 2" because the samples were not volume matched: http://www.avsforum.com/forum/91-audio-theory-setup-chat/1598417-avs-aix-high-resolution-audio-test-take-2-a.html Did Scott Wilkinson (Mr. Home Theater Geek) give us a final report of the results somewhere in the thread? The whole test was highly touted including on places like AudioStream. I'd be interested because here's an example of a 24/96 --> 16/44 where listeners could just load it up on an audio editor and see the difference in frequency response between the samples (hence why I limited the test on my blog to bitdepth).
