Bias is always present for everyone regarding evaluating speakers/DACs/etc., it’s just unavoidable. People claim benefits in going 24/192 over 16/44.1, and the only reason is because you think it’s better, the simple factual truth is 44.1kHz is enough unless your DACs filter is garbage, and 16Bit is enough as it’s almost always a lower noise floor than what you can hear. Same reason DSD has no benefits, and MQA is worse than CD (it’s half lossy by definition).
>>>>Experienced listeners are not swayed by these silly psychological effects, whether they be placebo effect, reverse placebo effect, expectation bias, or just psyching yourself out. They may be great in the pharmacutical industry but have little use for advanced audiophiles. Maybe if you’re trying to convince a gullible newbie.... Speaking of DSD, I have some DSD CDs, they sound spectacular. Maybe I’m the victim of the placebo vortex. OMG! 😮
