Most audio systems mess up the phase linearity so badly, that you won't
hear an improvement when switching the absolute phase. Even on many very
expensive high-end systems, the difference is often subtle.

But on those few systems which have accurate phase linearity, I think
few people would have a problem to hear the improvement when absolute
phase is right (less dull, more realistic, tangible, richer sound). A
good single driver speaker and a good source help a lot.
Some CD's are out-of-phase, on some CD's an individual instrument is
recorded out-of-phase, when you switch phase, this instrument will
sound better but the rest will sound worse.

It would be nice if the absolute phase could be selected on the SB2.
And it would be great if that could be implemented on Digital out (my
best DAC is out-of-phase).
