Hey, just adding a comment about an interesting ABX test result rather than general comment on ABX as you and Arny have been discussing! The 16/44 vs. software upsampled 24/192 test is -very different- from the jitter one! When did I imply that my comments on the Babyface has any bearing on the jitter test to make the "conjectures... threadbare"? Please, do not generalize my comments to something I said nothing about! The jitter test is about an original signal vs. one that has been distorted by simulated *1000ns p-p jitter*! That's 1 microsecond! That amount of jitter is IMMENSE and the idea that someone with good ears can ABX that is certainly not terribly surprising. Realize that the Transporter has a measured jitter of <300*pico*seconds. In a pure sine wave, I bet most of us will not have trouble with simulated 10ns sidebands using good equipment.
