Archimago as usual your views and research are a very interesting read. Being a listener with relatively good hearing, I have often asked myself if there really is a difference between a CD flac and 24/96. Often it is the better remaster that makes the "big" difference.
Also maybe the placebo effect, still sometimes I prefer the 24/96files. The difference is slight, but somehow it seems there is more audible space in the higher frequencies - no idea how to put it - probably sounds silly anyway. I find it is best heard on a solo violin, it sounds a bit different - but it it is difficult to pinpoint. But, truthfully the difference is pretty small - so no real reason to throw away all CDs and only buy hires. Sure the industry is now hoping to have something that will actually sell music again - since Streaming does not offer hires (yet). The most interesting point is, how the human mind works - how we see and hear things differently - if we want to, or are told to do so...
