Hi Marco. Interesting discussion (and I agree that there is potential for differences when the playback chain is not identical, as in the potential software or hardware conversion going on here). I'd agree with your statement above if we could say instead that "someone reported the results of 10 trials in a blind ABX listening and was able to detect differences in the SB playing a FLAC vs WAV file." But I'm not sure this is actually the case here. Maybe I missed it in an earlier post, but it has never been clear to me if you've done any sort of blind testing (ABX or not) to insure unintended biases are not sneaking in to your perceptions. Many people that swear they detect differences in playback discover that they can't do any better than random in blind ABX tests. http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=ABX -- garym ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71321 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
