Here's the article (couldn't find it earlier because I was
mis-spelling Hannover).  Unfortunately it's not free:

The abstract claims "only one in 40" could distinguish CD from vinyl,
but the data, as I recall, supported an even stronger conclusion than
that, as 1 in 40 was what one would expect from chance given the
experimental protocol described.

I'm surprised this isn't more widely known - expected to find a slurry
of audiophile denial about it on the web, but it seems to have been
just ignored.
