seems clear that you can distinguish well with this track. But you yourself have noted why this might be the case for this particular track. There have always been problem tracks that people can tell differences in. And by "problem track" I just mean a track with something unusual that makes it easy to tell or with harpsichords, etc.. This is why testing with real music, multiple tracks, and multiple genres is always a good idea. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98374 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
