I did not know that. As usual you falsely claim that I am omniscient.
I'm not.

You are talking about the AIX files, right?

I don't believe that happened, either.  I do remember that I said
something analogous to what I said above:

"A rule of thumb is that a single listening test by a single person is a
single data point and that it takes confirmation by means of additional
listening tests performed by other people to create a critical mass of
strong evidence."

False.

I know of no valid high resolution audio files that have been presented
on AVS in recent times. The severe shortcomings of the AIX files are
covered here:

I don't recall mentioning any problems with the people who took the
tests in the thread above. The problems were with the test files
themselves.

For the record, I myself obtained positive results with those files (see
evidence in the thread mentioned above). My rejection of positive
results extends to my results as well. Sauce for the goose is sauce for
the gander.  

I know the reason why I heard differences because I'm skilled enough of
a listener to know what I'm hearing, and what I was hearing was the
rather severe audible error in the files which I also documented with
technical evidence. It was not related to sample rates.
