This is exactly the problem. I have learned not to trust my senses.... you can tell me I'm not cold, but my senses and shivering are telling me that I'm cold. I trust my senses.

If you touch a metal in your home, it will feel colder than fabric. You probably know that the temp of the metal is the same as the fabric. The metal feels colder because it draws away the heat from your hand. The conclusion then that the metal is colder than fabric would be completely wrong.What you are telling me is that I'm imagining this or hallucinating. I'm afraid not. If I am cold, you can tell me I'm not cold, but my senses and shivering are telling me that I'm cold. I trust my senses.

What I am trying to do is raise your awareness for your hearing the same way. Unfortunately perception of sound is far more complicated than cold or hot. That is why people go so wrong drawing conclusions from what they perceive by their brain, regardless of what the ears captured.

He will not accept your reasoning no matter how well you present it as long as it doesn't fit his beliefs. And he will not accept your measurement as long as it doesn't fit his beliefs. Whatever you tell him and whatever data you present to him it will not change his mind as it is he who knows the best what he is hearing, right? And you simply can't beat that "argument".
I can say the same about your beliefs.
I suspect you have not had it with anyone who has had experience with sighted plus countless controlled tests of the same conditions. I am not parroting what I have read online. Getting listening right was part of my job, my teams and major company's revenue and reputation.If you think that this is the first time I have had this conversation, you would be mistaken.
FYI the gear has arrived. The note from Steve says to burn it in for 2 days before testing ???!???
I do that for all of my testing.Also, I forgot to mention that I recommend plugging the AC power for the LPS into the same circuit/outlet if possible as the AP or the DAC, whichever is fed by the SM.
Another reason to put it on the bench now, test it. Then follow the directions and retest to actually see if there's a change. Personally, I'd like to see cold, 45 min warmup and his "48 hr golden burn in"FYI the gear has arrived. The note from Steve says to burn it in for 2 days before testing ???!???

Ok, "trolling" was maybe not the best word I could have used but then maybe you as a native english speaker can suggest a better word for a person who is presenting his subjective impressions as facts in a very stubborn way and constantly avoiding to accept any rational arguments?
There you go!! You must use one of those audiophile burn in material on the DAC input...FYI the gear has arrived. The note from Steve says to burn it in for 2 days before testing ???!???
Before and after measures please.FYI the gear has arrived. The note from Steve says to burn it in for 2 days before testing ???!???
Put them in a zip file and it will take it.I will post the offset test tracks here to see if anyone can hear differences in these and pick out the one that is most live and accurate sounding. These all have identical data sections, but different offsets or # of nulls before music starts.
The problem is that the uploader will not allow me to attach sample .wav track files here, so I need a method to make them available.
