Citations? I'm happy to read any research you have. (You can also come over, crack a beer, and record balloon pops and acoustic instruments... and an electric guitar... and electric kazoo.) The xiph-cited studies I've seen show an identification of difference and a preference for... MP3. Hey, we want what we want. Otherwise, go read Von Békésy's work for the foundation, established in the pre-digital era, but transferable if you understand digital audio. For recognition of difference in high res audio, see: Reiss - https://qmro.qmul.ac.uk/xmlui/bitstream/handle/123456789/13493/Reiss%20A%20Meta-Analysis%20of%20High%20Resolution%202016%20Published.pdf?sequence=1 https://qmro.qmul.ac.uk/xmlui/bitstream/handle/123456789/134... ...And the papers referenced. It's an interesting meta analysis and a good survey of the last 20 years of publication on the subject. If you have some properly controlled double blind trials that show no discrimination ability, I'd be happy to read them. I'll admit that I haven't conducted statistically sufficient tests. I have, however, double-blinded (via software pseudo-random sample randomization). Like I said, though, I've got work to do. Do some listening. Read some papers.
