Nobody is arguing against that, quite the opposite. All we are saying is that not only do human beings experience the same music differently from one another, but they also experience the same music differently from one time to another. You might be very, very good at listening to music, but this is not about the ability to listen. This is about understanding the realities about digital music reproduction. Bits *are* bits. The number 10 is always the number 10, not sometimes 11, sometimes 9. There can be noise and jitter in the DAC, but that noise and jitter is not affected by how the bits get to the DAC. > it's off-putting, and drives people away from both this forum, and the > hobby in general. No, what is off-putting, and what drives people away, is all the superstition, hearsay, folklore and simply false information propagated by people who don't understand the technology make all sorts of claims based on unverified subjective sensations - and then refuse to verify them objectively.
