Those trying to be logical here "yes/no, right/wrong, 1/0" etc. need to realise that their logic is based on science, and 2007 science is NOT complete.
Things happen that 2007 science cannot explain. I certainly hear differences between reading from hard disk / CD / streaming / optical cables / coax cables, etc. Now, 2007 science says that I should hear no difference, but that is simply no the case. Who knows, maybe 2008 science will have a measurement for us that explains why music from a hard disk does not sound as good as music from a CD transport. But until then, we have to trust our ears and accept that our lowly, primitave level of knowledge cannot explain everything we hear. In 2050 we'll be laughing looking back on threads like this - "imagine, they had no idea why they heard those differences"! This is the same for every recording format - there is something inherently deficient in the recording process. And it is not the capturing of the music. Even my 90% deaf grandmother can walk past a pub and tell if it is live or recorded music playing. Whether it is live or recorded - it is still coming out the same crappy PA speakers - going through the same foul mixing desk and going through the same poor high-efficiency amplifiers. The mics are the same, and so is the cabling used to transfer the sound. But if it is recorded it sounds way off the mark. Again, one day, we might know why. -- amey01 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ amey01's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11274 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36503 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
