Does HiRez really sound better?

I came across this article from Goldmund Audio which I"m sure will raise some hackles. Don't think me a troll but I'd like to read some feedback on the supposed benefits of HiRez. Some of this has already been gone through but the blind listening test mentioned concluded that the ability to hear a difference between PCM and DSD was no better than the flipping of a coin.

All the best,

I noticed over the years any thread started with List the best sounding HiRes music and virtually every thread on this topic stalls , there is more chat about componets and wire then accual information of the HiRes file itself. Potential profit and mark ups are large with no physical product to produce ,package and distribute,.. this business concept of HiRez downloads looks great on paper however accual consumer feed back over the past few years has been underwhelming.
