Some actually believe that music from different drive types (SSD,HDD) or different SATA cables can sound different

I don't buy into expensive hype, but hard drives definitely sound different.
Many cables sound different.
Come visit me..
I will prove beyond any doubt night and day difference between some drives.

Ah, a Poe.

  1. (Internet slang) A person whose views, statements, or behaviour are so extreme or satirical that it is impossible to tell whether they are sincere or parodic.

How many times?
Basically, at least if striving for "science", the one claiming something must prove it, and not all the others prove him wrong.
 
Latest scientific studies performed by prof. Vytautas Kusetus have proved conclusively that the problem with harsh and sterile sound caused by usage of digital technology has actually nothing to do with DACs, or cables. It is all about the storage technology and media. Modern SSDs and hard drives are the worst, and even the 3,5" floppy disk drives lose the finer nuances of music. If You really want the lush analoque-like audiophile quality sound, the only solution good enough is the venerable 5 1/4" floppy disk.

Of course - but that is a separate issue.

The problem is there are at least as many people here posting misinformation, as there are posting science and engineering. If the posts containing misinformation are not challenged, then this place will look indistinguishable from all the subjective forums. (fora?)

It's futile, a losing battle, because a) "never argue with...", b) the dumbest can state dumb things faster, than the wisest will manage to refute, c) the former won't believe the latter anyway. Prior Art: Flat Earthers.

German saying: Recht geben, bis der Arzt kommt (tell them they're right until the doctor comes).
/S.

My "cure" for such problems is at the end of my signature. I've had the Chinese curse (may you teach other people's kids) for far too long anyway.

But even the 5 1/4 floppy is vastly outperformed by paper punch tape. The only problem with that is the need to stack a bunch of paper tape readers in parallel to get the data rate high enough. .... oblig. anti poe emoji -----> :p

It is not about the former believing the latter - it is about pointing out the facts to the - very many more - people who are just reading, as opposed to participating.

Yes, but, the facts are "on the table" and not since yesterday. The problem is, the "alternative facts" have been there too.
And they will be there after we all have long died, because such is the nature of this species.
We can't fix stupid, sorry. But of course, everybody is free to bicker ad vomitum. I'm "out of fish", sorry.

For a fleeting moment I though this was a serious post, until I read the last paragraph lol.

You've been running this gag for awhile now. May I ask, what's the significance of the made-up name ?

Sometimes silence is considerably more effective. At this moment, the troll in question, is laughing at the collective responses while rolling on the floor.
Just "sayin".
