Confirmation bias is rampant here
Yep, here we go again, the tired and lame retort of confirmation bias. When someone is unable to put forth a cogent argument, there’s the good ole fallback position. This shows no respect or acknowledgement of what multiple listeners have heard and experienced . That requires too much thought and contemplation.
It’s much simpler and lazy to just discount what others take the time to post here and report. If it does not fit your belief system and preconceived notions, No problem as it’s merely confirmation bias. A fair number of people have posted their respective results when moving on to or comparison with a better quality CD transport (Same can be said for better music server/streamer). Nope, doesn’t matter as they are all just fooling themselves and delusional. Oh, and of course the obligatory " They are foolishly wasting their money ".
Yet for some inexplicable reason the person advocating "There is little to no difference amongst the components " is to be accepted and believed without any push back or question? Really, how So? One aspect that’s rarely acknowledged by those trumpeting confirmation bias is that it can be applied in both directions.
One can be so entrenched in their own beliefs and perspective that they are incapable of accepting any outcome that differs from their predetermined rigid expectations.
