Wait for the next Slices. There you will see an interesting Tech Talk incl. blind tests about this topic.

I think there is also a mastering difference.. stuff could basically sound different because of different mastering types.. at least for mp3/wav vs. analogue , otherwise would be interesting which sound files they used..

i dont get why people are interested in this, what do they deduce from such tests`?

some sound engineers like 128 kbit better, so you gonna play only compressed sh!t now?

human sense of hearing can only handle 16 khz, so why all the speakers go up to 20 khz? fck that lets, make it 15 or 14, 99% of the people even cant handle this in a test.

why play a concert with a stradivari ? 100% of the audiance cant tell the difference to a normal violin.

it doesnt matter to me if i can tell the difference between wave and mp3, i will do everything i can possible do, to play a track as it was intended to sound.

if a friend wants me to rip him some ricardo stuff, to play it on his 20 € chinese 5 watt stereo system. i will not do it, even if he tells me he likes the way it sounds.
