24 bit vs 16 bit dithered test

Another Archimago test, I guess his premise is that there is no difference.

Anyway it's a good test of your system/hearing, I found them to be different.

there is a survey to fill in as well.

can you drop the test file on your google drive
the download keeps failing on me

its going to be different anyway because there will be differences in the player between 16 and 24bit

have uploaded it as 24x16test

the 16 bit files are actually 24/96, but dithered down to 16 bit so MQn sees them as 24/96
