You hear a difference between two setups. It doesn't really matter whether we're talking about WAV v FLAC or 7.2 v 7.4 both streaming WAV. What is absolutely not in any question is that you hear a difference. Now we need to figure out why. All of the engineering evidence suggests with extremely high probability that there is no difference in the sound being reproduced between the two setups. Meanwhile there is a large body of *scientific* psychological research which explains very well why you perceive a difference. You seem unwilling to acknowledge the overwhelming liklihood that the reason for your perception of the difference is due to psychological rather than engineering issues. Audiophiles often take this position - that admitting their brains can be fooled in matters auditory is some kind of character flaw. But it is nothing of the sort. It happens to everyone, we are all susceptible. Indeed, if you *weren't* susceptible to these psychological influences, *then* you would be a freak. -- cliveb Transporter -> ATC SCM100A ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71321 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
