Science NEVER deals with absolute certainty, ergo your goings on about "black and white" are simply wrong.There is a huge body of evidence showing that non-blind tests are subject to just about every kind of error one can imagine, and that DBT's do get listeners to discriminate at the levels predicted by basic physics.
If you want to argue otherwise, you have to come up with clear, repeatably countering evidence, of which I've seen exactly none.
The whole issue of "music vs. special signals" is a red herring, as is the whole issue of "high end" vs. anything else.
Of course, as always, that's for scientific testing, not for determining your own preference. Do what you will, but don't argue that it "sounds better". Just say you like it. Nobody can (should) argue with that.
