Odds are they'd either refuse for fear of being exposed, or blame the test conditions when they discover they can't hear the difference between any digital sources. I suppose you could ask them whether they can tell the difference first, while sighted, record their answers, and then try it blind. But this has been done many times, and the results are always the same, and it doesn't change anything... they just blame the stress of undergoing a test for their failure, and go away with their heads still firmly stuck in the sand (or elsewhere maybe...). Anyway, as a company selling a high-end audiophile grade product, I'm not really sure SD (or Logitech) has much to gain from this kind of debunking, which would only alienate the audiophile community. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33276 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
