Well, let's hear how that was done.Did I say anything about level matching? No, but I think it is needless to say, that we did level matching.

RME has both adjustable settings and a big volume control in the front for making variable changes. That may not be at issue here but we need 100% proper documentation of it. I do so many AB tests these days and it is remarkable how little volume differential it takes to produce false results.So now we are going to say the Yggy had a louder level? If anything the RME with its 6V output is more likely to have had a louder level.

As you know (or should know), RME gear is exceptionally popular in Pro world. What do you reckon is wrong with their ears that is not by yours?The RME DAC has always been certified to have an extreme resolution in the stereo spectrum. In the lowend a precise reproduction was recognized. However, the RME DAC was never able to create any depth gradation, nor were the instruments assigned clear spaces.
Voices were always classified as cold, as thin, as annoying in the " Desser " range.
Voices were absent from all test persons, the naturalness like physicality and warmth.
Even without said joint it can sound different.If I puff on a joint right now, is the same song I just listened to gonna sound better?
Nope. Nothing that is described so far makes it "proper." All you have said the test was blind but nothing indicates you know what that means in this context.you, you, you.....
kicks it finally...its all about you...
we are 8 persons with respectable backgrounds...with proper blind test...
Well said and completely true.Even without said joint it can sound different.
Here is an experiment to show that.
Make a copy of a digital file. Play the first copy and then when playing the second one, focus on what detail there is in it, how much air, how live, etc. I guarantee you will hear more of all of that even though nothing has absolutely changed! Here is the kicker, with full knowledge of this, you can listen back to the original file and hear it as "cold, not detailed, etc." Or not. Keep playing the two files back and forth and fidelity differences will be there.
The hearing system is very lossy and the brain constantly adjusts how much it captures. By focusing on music, as people do in tests, you all of a sudden hear detail that has always been there. By not realizing this, people attribute the differences to gear when in reality the thing that has changed, is the person's state of mind, not the sound waves hitting their ears.
How was level matching performed?
How was the "blind" set up when you ran the test? Did you switch inputs on a preamp behind a screen or what?
Nope. If you do, I have some oceanfront property here in Phoenix to sell you.So now it's level matched but people are still not buying it?
My joint is level matched to my appropriate weight.So now it's level matched but people are still not buying it?
