Audibility of "typical" Digital Filters in a Hi-Fi Playback

In the most characteristic "subjective audiophile" fashion I am having a strong audio gut feeling that you purpously misquoted Meyer and Moran. They mean exactly the oposite of what you are saying since 2007. I am not a subjectivists nor are you an objectivists if you don't even read the published literature on this topic. You said there should be a warning that says anyone who buys a high resolution title is delusional. I showed you evidence from prosecution's witness that high resolution releases, you know the real product, absolutely sound superior to their CD releases due to better mastering. As such you blanket assertion that hearing better fidelity is imaginary is wrong. ...of the SACD and DVD-A recordings sounded better than most CDs... That is a very illogical affirmation. It should have said it sounded diferent (not better). it s that from a scientific paper??!! No, it is not a scientific paper. It is an engineering report published in the Journal of Audio Engineering Society.Dynamic range compression does not depend on audio format. Technically no, but from business point of view, it absolutely does. The labels and talent consider CD and MP3/AAC formats as mass market so impose their wants in the form of loudness compression. There is no such business rule for high resolution releases. It is a choice made by the recording technician. Didn't Meyer and Moran know that?! I don't think they said that. I don't think you can be trusted as a source of information. Can you show some evidence? Who the heck is a "recording technician?" The only myopic views are coming from your posts. If a difference can't be heard in a properly set double blind test (to get rid of bias) than that difference is irrelevant. I think you know that but you choose to believe otherwise. You are in a thread where such a difference was heard in double blind tests and reported in award winning peer reviewed paper in Audio Engineering Society. Please do a bit of education before randomizing the thread. And that was not even the point of my reply to you. It was the fact that by getting the upstream stereo master, it could be created to a different set of business rules than mass market releases.
