Hey all, I did a technical breakdown of high-fidelity audio recently for our company and thought that it might be of interest to hackers. I'm especially interested in ideas & criticisms to lead to a more thorough test methodology for when we revisit this topic in the future. I know I simplified or explained away a lot of complex subjects in digital audio, but otherwise this would have been an even more massive post!
It is a good analysis! The null test was surprising, I'm sort of interested how bad the result would be if you went up against something like 192kbit MP3! My music collection is in FLAC and MP3 (256kbit VBR actually), just because MP3 is so widely supported.

I wonder if Tidal will try to pivot to selling pure snake-oil 24/96.
