RE: More "everything sounds the same" revelations - this time on Tom's Hardware.

I see that the Benchmark DAC2 still uses ASRC (now up to 211 kHz). So it could possibly be THAT bad.

As others have suggested, it could be the use of headphones, which precludes evaluating imaging (unless they used binaural recordings).

Then there is the point that subtle differences can never be "reliably" detected in any low budget test conducted by skeptics. Such is the nature of subtle differences. Or, more to the point, such is the nature of dogma.
