Hence in such cases a difference can easily be measured, and may be
audible, but actually tell you nothing about the difference in sample
rate or resolution being a 'cause' for said differences.

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


Her description of the difference made me think that she was hearing a
difference in the bit rate.

OK. The difficulty with that is that it is essentially basing your
conclusion on a series of assumptions. Could easily have been some other
factor.


Are the Naim files you refer to available freely? If so I'd be
interested in examining them sometime.


Yes, freely available from http://www.naimlabel.com/

Let us know your thoughts!

Well, don't hold you breath waiting as it may well be ages before my
'round
tuit' arrives! :-)

And as Arny has asked, can you say which particular files you (and your
daughter) compared? Might be best if I tried those if I can.


I used the pair of Jazz flac files and the pair of Classical flac files on
this page:

http://www.naimlabel.com/musicstore-test-files.aspx

The names are shown on the web page as:

Simple Psalm - Since Forever (Fred Simon)
Beethoven - Symphony No.1 in C (Iona Brown and the NCO)

However the tag data for the Fred Simon Jazz track shows it as:
Simple Psalm - Since Forever (Fred Simon)
