"Did Sony’s Chief Sound Architect just tell me they can’t hear or measure the difference between upsampled 248k files and true high-res audio?*
Yes he did. It seems an extraordinary statement, given this would imply that genuine high-res files offer little benefit over the compressed low-res files we’ve been complaining about all these years. If an upscaled 256k file from, say, iTunes, can sound indistinguishable from a genuine high-res file, then why pay a premium for genuine high-res?"
