Spit take! What possessed you to spend two and a half grand on an iPod?! Amazing.
Do solid state amplifiers sound the same ?

These science guys are mostly deaf.
They tend to love graphs more than they love music.
Just let them be.
I don't take anything any of them say personally.

Because i am an musician making, recording, mixing and mastering music, i have to take regular hearing tests, so i can proof that my hearing is in excellent condition. Can you do the same?
If you're making music, it is your job to look at graphs. You can not make music with something that doesn't sound correct/right, because this makes the music sound wrong. All i use to analyze audio products is the exact same gear i use to make music. I own it anyway, so why not use it for that case.
And how much more can you love music than making it? Spending a lot of money on audio gear shows no love for music, it shows that you love your gear, nothing more, nothing less.

My junk’s bigger than yours.
This guy is just here to waste our time.

You're certainly not suggesting that you're deaf, I guess.

No more than normal for my species and age. Bats and audiophools notwithstanding.

It sounded different than other gear on the market and Sony explained reasonable that this is due to their technology being the most true to the original sound.
And if you look at their marketing, it makes absolutely sense. They explain in detail, like Chord does, why they are better with lot of technical mumbo jumbo.
And not everybody can easily, instantly, archive all the knowledge that you need to verify if that is true. Especially when you're in a forum like Head-fi where everyone else tells you, that this is true.
I noticed that something is off when i was the only one who heard no difference between the WM1AM2 and WM1ZM2 but everyone else said, they sound completely different. At that point i started questioning why is everyone hearing difference but not me. So i wanted to find out and there started my journey into sound science.
But you sound science guys don't make it easy to start questioning decisions and to verify stuff. I heard a difference that was really there and everything that sound science guys everywhere told me was, that im stupid and there is no difference.
So if you want people to believe more into sound science and to understand if something is real or not, you have to be nicer.

Well maybe now you have better sources of information. I hope you didn’t waste too much money. Getting burned like that would turn most people off the hobby. It’s good that you picked yourself up and dusted yourself off and moved on.

Because i invested time to find it out myself and only because one sound science guy helped me because he was sure there is no difference and wanted to proof me wrong. That is not the way that it should go

The best way is to do your homework, conduct some tests, and figure it out for yourself. There’s plenty of good information in this forum, but you have to learn for yourself. You can’t pass the responsibility to spend your money wisely to anyone else.

For me personally, if you like music, to listen to the music on your set up. This is what counts.
We do not need measurements of this or that. If something needs measurements, I wil probably not hear it. Our hearing instrument is not that good, right.
Company's claim, that their stuff is better or the real thing, i belive them
I wonder who started to claim that You need to change the fuse, to get a better sound - fuse that has to do one thing only , protect the equipment. Or that their cable is better than from someone else - although is made from the same material.
I am quite sure it came from the audio industry, not from the listeners.
Electricity do not care about the components it has on its path. Had no quality so it can not be changed with other components. Like Rotel said some time ago that they replaced in the new Michi amp 100 percent of the components. A platform for speakers or something like this, maker claiming that it is improving the sound - 50 percent better. Wow, really .

Transducers and room acoustics matter. So does the quality of the recording, mix and mastering. Those are the things to focus on, not the difference between .01% and .001%.
