The issue is that if you keep playing the exact same track under the exact same conditions, subjectively people will be prone to detect variations. And these variations will tend to be much more pronounced if the listeners are under the false impression that something in the audio chain was altered during the course of iterations. Human ears-brain feedback loop is faulty that way, we get easily nudged into hearing differences where there are none to be found. But similar to how we are prone to enjoy a good drink much more if it's taken in an attractive glass, while that same drink tends to taste bad if taken form a baby bottle, we enjoy audio reproduction more if it's delivered via attractively looking components. Hence the higher price tag is very justifiable (same as nice crystal glasses will set us back more than purchasing some shitty plastic mugs). -- magiccarpetride ------------------------------------------------------------------------ magiccarpetride's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37863 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93111 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
