So you're going to dismiss the possibility of hardware variation, but you're happy to believe that two software players that deliver the same data stream to said hardware must be the source of the perceived difference? <bonkers> Of course, the component which has the greatest variability between auditioning one or other component is the state of the listener. But I'm sure you'll dismiss that, too. The thing that bothers me most is that I have taken the bait. You are an excellent fisherman, sir.
