Sorry, but you completely misunderstand. The point of a blind test is to REMOVE the knowledge of what you are listening to (i.e., the blind part) so that the comparison is based ONLY on the sound you hear. So julf and I are saying the opposite of what you think we are saying. We are saying that the SOUND is what matters, but to test this, one must remove the confounding factor of subject knowledge of the item being tested (the cable, the dac, etc.). So yes, we are all about the listening as the important component of any test. But first, one must remove potentially biasing components from the test (thus the importance of a blind test, preferably a double blind test). *Home:* VortexBox 4TB (2.3) > LMS 7.8 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio (all ethernet) *Cottage:* VBA 3TB (2.3) > LMS 7.8 > Touch > Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Office:* Win8(64) > LMS 7.9 > Squeezelite *Spares:* Touch(3), Radio(3), Boom, SB3, CONTROLLER *Controllers:* iPhone6 & iPadAir2 (iPeng8 & Squeezepad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.8 on Win7(64) laptop *Files:* ripping: dbpoweramp > FLAC; post-rip: mp3tag, PerfectTunes; Streaming: Spotify ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104602 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
