But this is the thing, there is no evidence that they can sound different, none at all, anywhere, yet many still claim they do..

I just don't get why, personally.
Evidence is in progress! CSI is still working on it! Still waiting for the DNA results.

The only thing you should be biting is your tongue, Derek - this is remnant of a thread crap that Maxfinn did on a PFM forum thread along with his desperado compadre, JULF

For Digital Audio playback that delivers WHERE the performers are on stage but more importantly WHY they are there.

Nothing being advanced here as to why there can be no difference, or why there could be - and DaveFs post about noise riding on the line possibly, maybe, could be a factor in some circumstances is the closest.

For the record maxflinn - you are very welcome here, but obvious trolling like this is not. If you would like to present a reasoned debate, instead of asking tired questions like the original one here, then fire ahead.

Be constructive not destructive.
