Thanks for taking the test! No worries "outing" yourself... I'll tell you a little secret - you're not the only one admitting to this on the survey :) Listening to one track then the other is a natural way to evaluate. It might not be as sensitive to instantaneous A/B switching but it does reflect how we normally listen to music; one track at a time and whether we subjectively experience a difference. Yes, indeed I'm seeing folks on the survey using amazing equipment - Chord DAC, Resonessence DAC, PASS amps, McIntosh, >$50K systems, etc... But as you noted, all this equipment also has to be paired to good ears... We'll see how this all plays out once the test concludes. All the best...
