If a single person can repeatably and correctly hear a difference, then you have proven a positive. That's the difference. To prove a positive, you only have to find that one person. To prove a negative you have to test everybody.....
As for the whole CD vs hiRes format argument, I often wonder how much old prejudices color the opinions. The early CD sales pitch was "perfect sound", but the early players were far from perfect. Today we argue if 16 or 24 bits is enough, but the first CD players on the market only had a single 14 bit DAC, that was shared between the left and right channel, using an analog sample and hold circuit! So one channel was always slightly behind the other! Over time, the technology has advanced, and the technical shortcomings of early designs have been corrected, but there is still a deep distrust in the audiophile community. And all the time we are thinking about such things, we aren't paying enough attention to the really important bit. The thing that got us all into this quest in the first place.... The music! Gotta go listen now!
