How does a specific setup sound to someone. This is of course obvious and if your massive gold-plated power cable sounds better to you because you know how expensive it was and it gives you the warm feeling that you were able to afford it then that's a real and live effect and makes your listening experience better. 2. How a system should be designed to create the best output for everyone. The effect in #1 is highly individual and non-reproducible so discussing it in the context of "does something sound different" is totally useless. It doesn't get you anywhere because you can't influence it as a designer of a system. As a designer of a system you have to care about measurable effects and design the optimum performance for it. Asking "are there people to whom 64 kbpit/s mp3 played through a bluetooth speaker submerged inside of an aquarium sound better" gets you nowhere. Of course there are or nobody would buy beats headphones. But unless they are either your majority or your target group you'd usually stay with getting the most accurate sound reproduction and that specifically includes all kind of errors. Because stuttering or non-working playback is actually very inaccurate and even if it only happens to some people it's a serious degradation of your overall system performance. --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 8, the Universal App for iOS 7 and iOS 8* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104227 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
