^ The butterfly effect? Let me be a bit of a devil's advocate... I think you'd agree that different code, no matter how apparently trivially different, executes differently. The electronically different results are easily seen with the proper gear. Hell, the 3-letter-agencies can tell exactly what you're doing by the radiated energy from your executing code. From quite far away. So let's not say our audiophile listening rooms or electronics are immune. Whatever this small change in code is, the way the electronics process it could result in some unexpected audible sonic difference.
It is very difficult to believe that code that's *logically* identical results in a different sound. That is why all new revision software that only had *minor* changes made to it always works perfectly, and never creates new problems with things that worked perfectly before. :) >From a practical perspective as a developer, if it's not a lot of trouble, just let people have access to the old versions until they prove to themselves they're not better. If they like the old one, no harm. Don't actually go back to the older version for development. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cfraser's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=48869 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94855 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
