As a retired electronics engineer I am at a loss to explain how or why but I shall stand by what my ears tell me. How the digital domain is handled DOES affect sound quality! I suspect that in the end we shall have to beg to differ on our stances.

I'm aware that this topic never results in a fruitful discussion and I think that's the reason why discussing this topic isn't even allowed at some forums. However, I wonder how an electronic engineer might consider a personal listening test a prove.

I think that somenone who claims something against common sense and all scientific reasoning has the obligation to provide a real prove or at least some kind of logical explanation. The same applies to those claiming that homeopathy is effective, pink unicorns exist or that the earth is flat.
