Check out the complete results here.

Curious to see if any listeners on MB have evidence to the contrary?
I'm not surprised at all, tbh. I'd like to see the results from the other test that was mentioned in the article about the high bit rate samplings, but it just links to the procedure page. I figure that they're rather similar, since there's rarely much of a difference unless you're comparing an overly compressed file with FLAC.
