Ok, maybe you're right and lots of people are wrong. One thought. What can explain the phenomenon of multiple independent reviewers/listeners attributing the same type of character to a given DAC then? I really don't believe there is some giant conspiracy here, with a cheat sheet being sent out for the reviewers to plagiarise on each product.
So, I am still convinced that I can tell the difference between the DACs I have tried out. I accept there are many reasons why i might perceive differences that are not in fact there, not least of which is how my blood pressure is on a given day.. but even so I believe I can reasonably reliably detect longer term differences once I've "averaged out" individual listening sessions as it were. (For the occasions where I get to do an extended trial, that is..) I accept this is just me trusting my senses.. and yet I am not confident if I would in a well controlled dbt. Mainly because I've done sighted tests using some types of material and not been able to distinguish. (Where I've not been able to distinguish I've said so.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ drmatt's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=59498 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106519 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
