What I have noticed is less fatigue. This is totally subjective and
probably can't be measured. It is the difference between wanting to
listen to music all day and feeling forced to turn it off after a
couple
of hours. Some people may not even notice it.

But do you know for sure that's due to extended supersonic frequency
response?

Nope. I don't know what causes it. I just know that I notice it, and
it is very subjective.

Second that. Audible from the first day of SACD playback, and continues
to
this day ten years later. CD's have become excellent, but I still can
only
take a few hours of listening before becoming restless. SACDs can be
playing all day without this effect (and, BTW, so can analogue tapes).

Given that something like half of all SACD releases were just upsampled
and/or remastered transcriptions of analog and digital masters with bandpass
of 24 KHz or less...

In the absence of blind tests supporting these claims, it is there is a
finite probability that the restlessness observed is due to anxiety over not
keeping up with the latest in the emporer's new sample rates.
