The question is whether you can hear it, or more specifically, if there is any magic at frequencies you can hear due to frequencies you cannot hear. Science says no (at least the science I've read). Some audio people say yes.

In the case of recordings posted here, I doubt very much if people are posting 96 or 88 MP3s. So I'm pretty sure the difference you are hearing has nothing to do with frequencies above which humans can hear.
Good answer; much appreciated!
