We can't address an argument, we refuse to consider our own bias, so we will insult and not think. Perhaps our bias is at play, or perhaps we have ignored other variables that could create perceived differences? That is easier than putting thought into what is really happening. It is easy to link to pop-science articles than it is to understand what they are discussing and/or research if there is validity to their claims. It is much easier to claim we hear a difference than it is to validate that claim. It is easy to claim a difference is because of A, then to validate is it A.
I don't read this stuff in a book, but I may write the book (or the articles), and they are based on unbiased testing, but you don't need "testing" to know best practices w.r.t. keeping jitter low, reducing RF emissions, reducing vibration sensitivity, or what impacts jitter most .... the hifi audio reproduction industry is not the bleeding edge of technology. There are many industries where verified low jitter, verified low noise, verified signal quality are important.
