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,

In descending order of resolution, please list the following recording techniques :- 1. Reel-to-reel analog master tape 2. PCM at hi-res, either DXD or DSD 3. Direct to disc(vinyl) The thing is no-one knows the definitive answer. So, this debate can rage on till the cows come home. Homo sapiens are good at this sort of thing. J. :)
