OK, it is *vaguely conceivable* that these two files might sound different.
BUT... based on present knowledge, it seems *overwhelmingly unlikely*. And investigation of overwhelmingly unlikely phenomena must go right to the back of the queue of interesting things to do with one's time. The ball is therefore firmly in the court of those people who would have us believe that there can be a difference. It is up to them to present properly conducted ABX tests which demonstrate that they do indeed hear a difference. Only then would it be worth our time looking into it. And of course, no such ABX results have ever been presented - only anecdotal sighted comparisons, which as we all know count for diddly squat. -- 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=93549 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
