And at the end he says he doesn't know why hi-res sounds better than CD, when he has a trivial method of finding out. All he needs to do is take one of his beloved hi-res files, whack it through a decent sample rate converter (eg. SOX) to convert it to 16/44.1, and then ABX the two. He'll find that he will be unable to tell the difference (at normal - or indeed anything less than insane - listening levels). In a sense, this kind of audio journalism is more dangerous than the sort written by the outright loonies, because it seems reasonable to the rational but uninformed reader.
