Sure it is one way to see if you can tell the difference but you can actually do it a different way.
You simply listen to both versions (not knowing which is which) and then you pick the one which sounds the best. You can set it repeat where the versions alternate so if you are unsure you simply listen a bit more.
Then you simply repeat that until you reach statistical significance or give up.
This gives you the added information of letting you know what actually sounds better in a blind test which can be interesting to know (i once got statistical significance for 16-44 sounding better than 24-96).
Maybe you don't know which version sounded the best but you found some difference anyway, then you can simply test for that each time instead to see if it persists.
Note that the probability of getting 10 out of 10 in favor of one alternative is 2/2^10 = 0.00195315 (10-0 or 0-10)
You could for example discover that some song sounds better encoded as say mp3 320 Kbps (to you) and get statistical significance for that. Then it makes sense to listen to the mp3 version of that song instead (even if you keep the flac for archival purposes).
