whilst few people old enough to be able to afford this
sort of kit can hear the full range of frequencies
present on a CD, let alone anything supposedly
"better".

Yes I have proved that point, as I found that my
daughter could quite easily distinguish between 16/44
and 24/96 flac music files when played via my hifi,
where as I struggle to do this.

How was one of the files produced from the other?


In the brief test I used two pairs of sample files
downloaded from the Naim website.

I just asked my daughter if she could hear any
difference, and then to explain the difference that she
heard.

Using two files from the Naim website exposes your evaluation to a vast
array of issues that are irrelevant to the sample rate.

Rule number one is that when you do comparisons like this, you take the high
sample rate file and downsample it yourself, which is easy to do with free
software that can downloaded from the web.


Why's that - are Naim not to be trusted?

Then you compare the two using a software ABX DBT comparator.


Do you happen to know of a Mac variant?
