No, because this article does not argue that there can be no differences heard between the different resolutions. It does allow for subjectivity, and comes up with a reasonable explanation to back up what is being said.
The article Ed referred to was typical all competent amplifiers that measure the same, sound the same" type commentary, which we all know is patently untrue.
Audio is a unique mixture of science and subjectivity and to dismiss either side of the equation immediately bars the writer/commentator from having anything valid to say, therefore I reserve the right to ignore such stuff.
