Apart from audiophile recordings most commercial recordings are still in 24/48 or 24/96. > If you want to "test" hirez in some ABX fashion use SoX or something and > resample some of the better hirez recordings you have .

Using SOX it is trivially easy to produce different resolutions of an original recording, so there is no excuse not to do a proper comparison (OK, the only trouble is finding material that really is "hi-res"). > Personally looking at most distortions curves on power amps they peak in > the HF and also typical HF resonance peaks in tweeters ( transformer > resonances in tube amps anyone ? ) I only see a possible way for > intermodulation distortion this would sound different ofcourse ..... Yes, and because of that, "hi-res" might actually sound *worse* (due to intermodulation distortion caused by HF noise). "To try to judge the real from the false will always be hard.
