Trebleheads here should be rejoicing by now. (i shld be the last 1 to update to 1.16)...
FANTASTIC Update...

I was just going to play the 1st track & move on to the next album, ended up playing all & completing the album. It's not the trebles (lower up to high) alone were improved, those Low level details are all over the entire frequency range. It is not difficult to hear the improvements as these elements unearthed by the 1.16 fw are not subtle, they are in fact very revealing. Not that they were not previously present before the update. Rather better resolved now...

and anyone who says that cables merely transmit electricity--they all sound the same--or that burn-in is a fallacy---are either deaf or really stupid

Or never heard such good cables and just only running their mouths off

$1400 is cheap when you fall down the hill of custom cables

I hope that's not a dry cough with a fever. But I agree with your sentiments.

Or maybe they understand science and don't have to buy expensive cables for marginal changes most of which should be inaudible.

This is an intentionally hyperbolic statement to put your hyperbolic statement into context.

There is a reason why studio people don't buy excessively expensive cables and Hifi enthusiasts do. In the end I think everybody should do what they feel is right. But saying that Hifi people have it right over the studio folks is a statement that I'd put a huge question mark behind.

When enthusiasts start questioning professionals that's where association with Flatearthers start in my mind.

I personally buy after market cables for the better haptic quality, durability and aesthetics.

You are so bad! But that cracked me up, and I didn’t expect that

I don't see why you're so upset. If you don't see any advantage in high-fidelity cables then it's good for your wallet ... but it's bad for your audio experience
