• Ha! Fair enough. It’s just that nobody so far has talked about actually trying 2 or more different devices. Cue “I have and it’s bollocks”.

    I’ll hopefully have a valve amplifier arriving this week to distract me from digital stuff.

    Err, I have and...

    To be fair, it was two pretty expensive digital sources; a Wyred 4 Sound DAC and a Meridian 500 series CD player. Did extensive A/B with the CD and the FLAC rip of the CD. Had a friend over as well, who is a musician (not that means their hearing is any better).

    We both concluded that it was impossible to distinguish between the sources.

    Sold CD player, kept DAC. All CDs are now ripped to flac for home listening.
