Can you explain why those differences go away entirely when you blind and level match the testing?
I'm a recording engineer, and I've tested dozens of amps and DACs properly with several people who definitely claimed a night and day difference between source gear, yet couldn't even get a 60% accuracy rate on correctly telling them apart.
They only heard the differences when they knew what they were listening to. I've done this several times over the years, and my findings line up with the actual research done.
Frankly, you perceiving a difference just listening isn't really proof of anything do to how incredibly easily influenced human hearing is, it's incredibly fallible.
Yes I have a theory why but I cant tell for sure and still have to test it myself. Anyways I am not willing to discuss this topic. There is no point in arguing. Neither of us can be convinced by the other persons words.
