But the point is when there is no difference a human could hear ? then taste does not come into to it at all . We are there with most digital sources of reasonable quality . Most if not all audiophile quibles is about inaudible things imagined to be audible due to lack of controlled listening test . I dbt IS a subjective test using ones hearing but with as much bias as possible removed . Most "issues" these days are of such smal influence that human bias are magnitudes bigger . There are of course tastes like tube gear with readily available artefacts that are clearly audible and preferred by some (instead of hearing the source material as intended by the artist ) . I have quite wide musical taste i can not choose equipment by "taste" it has to be as neutral as possible , that makes some music sound terrible due to the fact that the recording actually sounds like that :/ but it helps greatly when the material has the right qualities . Taste comes into speakers as they are currently always very coloured especially combined with room acoustics ,thtas the last frontier, here we have tp pick our poison . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
