If the difference is _so_ subtle no one can tell the difference in an
A/B test (and there's no reason for that test to be "quick"), why
should we think it exists?  Especially in this case, where there is a
very strong reason to think there is no difference (the functioning of
the squeezebox), as well as a very powerful explanation for why one was
perceived by some (confirmation bias).

I don't follow.  Neither can ever be proved, rather evidence can
accumulate (and is starting to in this case).  In fact, according to
logic there is no (formal) difference between a statement and its
converse.
