Apart from audiophile recordings most commercial recordings are still in
24/48 or 24/96.

Indeed. 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").

Yes, and because of that, "hi-res" might actually sound *worse* (due to
intermodulation distortion caused by HF noise).
