Just to clarify, I am not in the habit of constantly changing my music system.
The Mytek DAC & Sennheiser HD800S headphones which I recently acquired are the first change I've made for 8 years. If I am guilty of self-delusion in believing that the DAC makes my system sound better (& that the Sennheisers sound better than my loudspeakers, accepting that they prevent the sound from the opposite channel hit my ear, and therefore do not portray the stereo image as the recording engineer intended), then I can accept that. I'm fallible the same as anyone else - at least I've had the benefit of some retail therapy! This is why I have proposed a rigorous double-blind test to establish beyond statistical doubt whether I & any other forum member who would care to participate (the more the merrier) can really detect the difference in sound. I only learn something when I make mistakes, after all...
