Well actually it might be easier than you think, but I still doubt that it will ever be done. Almost no one actually does blind listening tests with a large number of subjects (prefered to trained subjects for variuos reasons) because they are so hard to do.

I am in the process of doing two studies aimed at understanding some details of sound perception, but the question that you ask - LD versus HD seems so obviuos to me that I am not too interested in doing it. Once you heard a HD CD system properly setup I think that you too would also agree that such a test is not really needed.

If the question that you are asking is what HD is optimal, 45°, 60°, 90° etc. then I can agree that would be an interesting test. But to ask if 90° is better than 360°, I think thats a no brainer.
