If only Science had an answer.

Exactly. And if you suggest otherwise, your post will be deleted.

Since it is now well-established by many members (see relevant PMs) that bitwise-identical files can sound hugely different, like night and day, what is the best way to get our measurements up to this new high standard defined by our golden-eared, golden-aged colleagues? This is an absolutely imperatively important topic that really deserves to be interjected into every discussion at every opportunity.

Maybe this is because you (deliberately) misunderstood his analogy.

Advertisers don't like how some people think.

Like Michael Lavorgna? At least he gets the satisfaction of knowing his idea of what the site should be has ultimately prevailed.

Maybe it would be a goodwill gesture to allow those of us who are no longer welcome to have the right to delete our content before our eagerly-anticipated departure.

If only we had a strong leader who would just dismiss Congress. Checks and Balances are left-wing commie liberal feminist constructs designed to castrate real conservatives who value Constitutional fundamentals. Bigly.

Thanks. Sorry I missed that before I posted. Note the avatar.

WD stands for "water dispersant". It has a foaming agent that makes it useful to clean old lubricant out of stuff. I use it to clean out my Chris King hub ring drive. Then I lubricate it with an actual lubricant.

Maybe the power supply noise is stored in the buffer.

You know how I knew it was fake? WD-40 is not a lubricant.

Anything that implements dither should be inaudible, unless you are really turning it down low. Digital volume control in Audirvana and even iTunes work inaudibly, in my experience.

Can't you just change the font point size on the 1s and 0s?

I suspect it is a Fakebook meme. Oh, BTW, Happy Australia Day (although I guess that was the day before yesterday there now.)

Does the optical cable have conductive shielding?

That's easy for you to say.

Fortunately for you, this is objectively superior. Again, complete with some roses ...

Nothing gets by you.

... and a bit of apocalyptic eye-candy:

This explains why audiophiles like to have their equipment like DACs warmed up first. Warmer DACs have more distortion, so the music sounds warmer and more vinyl/analogue-like. Win/win.

A few more articles like this and the name of the website will have to be changed to "Audiophile Substance."

I just buy records new and rip them to mp3, and then re-sell them on eBay at twice the purchase price. Win/win/win.

For that price, you could get about six Bosch dishwashers. The red one costs $100 more.

Hence the final 4 words.
