If you feel the questions require time consuming or difficult response there is a very simple solution; don't respond. We as Audiogon members are not forced to respond to every question that pops up on this forum. Sort of takes care of that issue. Or we can try to help out members who aren't sure of the best way to go about getting the information they are looking for.

There is only one mathematical law in the universe:

Treat all like one....

It is the only mathematical absolute law....

It refer to the deep mystery of the One and the internal many...

It is the basis of scripture of all religion... Religious only forgot it and add many "fancies" of their own to this law...

Scientists has not discovered it for the moment but are on the verge to discover it...

Note that Excel and Word act differently on a Mac than a Windows machine, and not at all on Linux.  So there are differences from one machine to another.  And one may prefer one machine over another based on those differences.  Granted, we audiophiles take things to an extreme, but maybe accountants prefer certain processors.

The storage of information as bits makes no distinction about what the information actually is.  Your hard drive does not care whether the files are cat videos, financial data or files containing music.  It's the encoding and decoding of the analog signal into and out of digital that accounts for sonic differences.  The most common audio format is Pulse Code Modulation (PCM).  Furthermore, even within PCM there are different factors and technologies that effect sound quality.  One of the key factors in PCM is the clock.  A stable and accurate clock is necessary to properly encode/decode music.
Oh yeah, try not be such a dick with your next question -- just messing with ya'.

“Regarding color in a game that there is a greener green in the same software (game).
That is like audio the data info in the game for a color is a constant number. But then the reproduction device the monitor has different color depth, brightness, calibration and so on.
So it WILL give you different color of green on different monitors.”


Really? I am more familiar with this world than I’d like to be, given that my son is kinda a junior member. And although I don’t expect anyone to believe me, these people operate on a level that make audiophiles look like freshman going up against doctoral students. With a million dollar prize up for grabs somewhere in the world almost every weekend, they have the incentive to be pretty serious. And with a million dollars on the line, they also have the incentive to seek out every advantage, no matter how theoretical or unproven. But I have never—as in not one single time—heard any talk about differences in color production. Actually, it’s more accurate to say that my son has never heard about it, given his knowledge far exceeds mine. Wouldn’t a more intense green help you to see an assassin lurking around a wall? Apparently not. 

Now, if the kid would only start bringing home some of that big prize money, I’d get off his back about trading the real world for the virtual one. Although I guess that during the pandemic, video games are as real as anything else. 

Let me repeat something from my first post: I’ve heard the difference. I’ve heard a PS Audio CD player sound better than my NAD when played through the same system. But search as I do, I can’t find anyone/anything to explain the difference.
