I see the same pattern as before with people that reported to hear 24bit advantages in old Jazz music that was pulled from sale for being padded 16bit. Later they heard advantages in dsd and now welcome MQA but at the same time are completely overwhelmed with the most simple abx because of to many knobs. What puzzles me even more is that lately some audiophile claimed recordings to me sound simply mudded. Means like it purposely does mask anything that may sound offensive even when the instrumentation in reality needs to. Perfect digital recordings get EQ'd to death or make a round to tape and back. I may hear extremely small details on living room recordings done on a simple digital mixer from a bandcamp newcomer and miss the kick at my latest 24/96 purchase coming from a so called audiophile label.
