This is a different skill to the one being invoked in an audio quality comparison. Like asking an artist to copy the brush strokes or blobs of paint used to make a picture instead of copying the picture. You perceive through the audio to the instruments and the stressing and balance that carries, but you store the product of that perception, not the medium it was received via.
