I've also induced it by licking the strings with my tongue on my Fender Jazzmaster when using long cables to the amp.
I just... don't want to know.

Isn't it just a lot easier to use modern DAC/ADC technology instead of R2R?
After all, pretty much the entire recording chain of anything modern & normal is using SD/DS topologies.
The only plausible explanation of people believing they hear differences at the -110db level and better is the placebo effect, which is real enough for those of you susceptible to it.
Total misinterpretation. Your senses must not be working very well. Try reading what I wrote. Measurements and listening are equally important, until we achieve a standard set of measurements that fully characterize and correlate to the way we hear. I don't believe we are there yet.
I just did a quick listen to the first few seconds and heard no difference. We have to confirm levels and such are the same before we know if it is fair or not.@amirm , do you hear the difference?
It should be a fair and square test of clocking, wouldn’t you agree?
BUMP
Did anyone try this:

This is very natural part of how our brain works. When you swapped in the iPurifier you were focusing on its effect which in turn would cause your brain to focus more on details. This is the same as someone reporting that after they made some change all of a sudden heard an instrument they did not before. The sound was always there but they did not pay attention to it.Let me give you an example that anyone can try: When I first watched the 3-D version of the movie "Gravity" using my Oppo Blu-Ray player, I didn't have the iPurifier in the system, so jitter was higher. I totally missed some of the context of the movie because this is laid-out in the first minute of the movie, with radio chatter between earth and the space shuttle. I could not make out what they were saying in this chatter. It's mostly high-frequency sound.
After adding the iPurifier, I watched the movie again. This chatter was now intelligible and I understood the dialogue immediately, even though this is at very low level. The movie finally made sense to me.
If they can review the gear waiting and take care of planting the garden, sure.Can somebody assist you in blind test?
Ah, it is a great use for that.This is the perfect job for @pkane his comparison software perhaps.

I said nothing about expecting better quality. That is another thing that corrupts such tests (e.g. you liking your own products).Wrong. I was not expecting anything but better quality audio overall. I was frankly surprised that I heard dialogue that I had previously missed.

Amir - This is inappropriate and disrespectful to women. Are we going to remain civil here or not?
Which one was? The one about noise from cables? Unlike the other three that one actually seems almost possible to me!
