The default 'argument' from some here is that if A and B sounded different it's the format. It's just unquestioned.
You ignored me saying that it could be down to the discs just not being good sounding discs or that it could be due to the way the new system is decoding. I have not been unquestioning. Even where I've suggested that I thought I heard a sonic signature that allows for at least three not assumed bias variables, the DSD system itself, the encoders, and for that matter the decoders. You conveniently ignore half of what I say, while assuming a position of rationale that you don't back up with what you are ignoring. I'm for blind double testing, I'm up for things being measured, but the best you can come up with is that I might not be hearing it (or probably aren't, whatever way you want to spin it) with no measuring of my (perceived, if you like) experience. You are doing what you are accusing me of in your case of half using science. Both of our positions can be measured, neither of us has specifically measured them. I'm totally up for a null test as both of the discs I've not liked the sound of have been released in multiple multi-channel formats, of which I've not heard the other formats to know how they sound in relation. Note that *again* I've allowed for doubt in what I may be hearing or the reason I may (or may not) be hearing it.
