Can someone, versed with DW, post the (audio) diff file (not boosted in amplitude)
and perhaps a 50% slowed down version of that diff file so older folks can get an idea of the differences that exceed audiophiles hearing.
Also it might be wise to consider that due to the driver size and type of the Susvara the frequency response above 15kHz may be quite peaky/dippy and vary well over 20dB (also depends on the pinna) which may well be a clue as to why a young individual with extended hearing at louder volumes might be able to pull a successful ABX.
Cameron also said his earlier attempts (captured on video or not ?) were not as good.
Training usually helps (knowing what to look for).
Concluding that there must have been tells/cheating simply because the vast majority (except Cameron and Sharur ?) cannot hear differences/pass the ABX is not really scientific. There are always outliers and they don't need to lie.
And, as Sam Adams already said... it takes quite a lot of dB to hear high frequency sine waves.
The thing is that even if one can pull it off to hear 21kHz (by cranking up a headphone to say... 100dB) that does not mean they can also hear 60dB or 70dB 20kHz+ content in music with masking tones being present.
I remember in my younger years (have been in audio from age 16) I could 'detect' 20kHz but did not sound as tone, had to crank up the volume and could detect it as a 'pressure' being present which disappeared when switched off. Not like something useful in music.
There are too many variables and no real-life witnesses (that can also hear 20kHz+) and verify the test was valid so it boils down to believing Cameron did all he could to make the test valid or he is an dishonest person and had some (deliberate or not) tells. His reaction at 18/20 result does not appear fake to me.
What exactly was the reason for Cameron to reach 18/20 I guess we will never know with 18/20 certainty.
