To help those wondering about issues in the recent 'Elliot Scheiner LFE Issues' thread and whether they can hear a difference with fixes applied, here are 3 short 30 sec samples to compare:
Beck: Sea Change (BDA) has two issues:
1. Front Left and Front Right channel are Phase Inverted
2. LFE channel is 8ms delayed
I have fixed each issue and uploaded small (14.7MB) files for testing and education (Fair Use). To limit size I first resampled the first album track from 192kHz to 48kHz. I've also trimmed out a 30 sec chunk between 10s and 40s and used just that section.
File 1: The original mix (untouched)
File 2: Front Left and Front Right Phase Inverted fixed (LFE issue remains)
File 3: Both Phase Inversion and LFE delay are fixed.
NOTE: Fair Use claimed - These 30 sec samples are for test and education purposes only

Please post your test listening results in this thread.
Comparing 1 vs 2 will show whether Channel Inversion can be heard by you on your system
Comparing 2 vs 3 will show whether LFE delay can be heard by you on your system
(BTW: Beck: Sea Change SACD has same issues as the BDA - The DVDA has no issues)
Here's the original waveform prior to applying fixes:
