I brought this topic up over at computeraudiophile.com Got a thoughtful answer from music producer Barry Diament, who records in 24/192 and produces hi-res discs. He has an explanation for why 24bit does matter.
http://www.computeraudiophile.com/content/debate-24-bit-it-just-audiophoolery#comment-72930 In forums he claims he can consistently pick out hi-res recordings on good systems, and he seems to have evidence to back up his claims. So maybe he is like the tested people in the study who scored 8/10 and 7/10. A small group with trained listening skills that can hear the difference. -- firedog Tranquil PC fanless WHS server running SqueezeServer; SB Touch slaved to Empirical Audio Pace Car; MF V DAC3, MF X-150 amp, Devore Gibbon Super 8 Speakers; Dual 506 + Ortofon 20 (occasional use); sometimes use PC with M-Audio 192 as digital source.
