Yes, you are correct, there does need to be a little bit of trust... You can't go looking at the file size, or bit rate. It doesn't show on the screen by default, and you have to promise not to go looking for it! FWIW, my mother was part of a double blind medical study, and really pissed off the organizer, by reading the label that was under the masking tape! But if you honestly want to find the truth, you have to resist temptation! Of course, comparing digital audio files under an ABX type system is relatively easy... Comparing equipment is much tougher! As I said at the onset, it's not easy to run this sort of test!
