AFAIK on Hydrogenaudio they actually prefer if you can provide ABX results for your comparisons. That's based on what you hear and not on numbers. But that's for more minute differences than 32 bit downconverted with and without dithering, for which they have an agreed upon stance (the same as madshi's) based on past ABX tests. That's also why they don't like certain people who post here on Doom9 that use company press releases as evidence for superior audio quality and don't provide ABX comparisons for their claims that (eg.) upsampling 44.1 kHz to 96 kHz makes audio sound better.
