+1 I have nothing against NPR but that has like 5 samples and absolutely nothing about methodology.

As far as I know, the goto test is: http://abx.digitalfeed.net/

They have a few other tests heres: http://abx.digitalfeed.net/list.html

I wish people would stop posting this useless test.

It compares FLAC with 320 Kbps AAC which no streaming service uses (Apple uses 256 Kbps) and is a very high bit rate.

And its choice of indie tracks isn't suited for demonstrating codec artefacts. At least have classical, EDM etc as well.
