Why even bother trying to convince? Just ignore!
Yes, just listen and be happy.

[1] Never confuse me for an audiophile.
[2] Manipulation is manipulation, through either system!
1. If you're going to make typical audiophile fallacious assertions and ignore the actual facts, how can I do anything other than confuse you for an audiophile?
2. The vast majority of commercial music recordings can only exist due to manipulation. Again, with the vast majority of commercial music an actual performance of a song/track never exists, the song only exists through the manipulation of all the individually recorded instruments. So what are you saying, that you don't want any manipulation and therefore no music from around the late 1950's onwards?

they're artists, why shouldn't they create what they want, anyway they want it, using any tool they want? we're having the same conversation again and again. you'd rather keep a given art form stagnant because you like how it was at a certain point and don't like how it is evolving. a guy like you was actively complaining every time a new instrument, musical genre, or production process came to be. and of course like everyone of those guys, you believe your circumstances are different and that you're really doing it for the sake of music. and like them, you're wrong. because every single one of those new tools, new techniques, new styles, brought the potential for more diversity in music. this post processing tool is the same, it offers many new options and doesn't remove anything. an artist doesn't like that tool, he just won't use it, the end. only guys like you, wish to remove possibilities because you don't like them.Audiophile = love of the sound of something
MELOphile = admiration of the music itself
So don't try to make a flat or sharp singer into something he or she ain't! (Unless you work for Fox)

I'm a tiny bit passionate about artistic freedom in general, sorry to everybody for probably adding fuel to this strange off topic.
Who cares about sound humans can't hear? It won't make Bon Jovi sound any better. Just apply a low pass filter at 20kHz and forget it.
The truth will set you free my friends!
Hate to burst your bubble, but tests say different:

Oh god, not this hyperbole
Apologies to all here.I see nothing in the titles of those articles that imply that cables will make a difference. Of course I didn't read them...
Psychological evaluation indicated that the subjects felt the sound containing an HFC to be more pleasant than the same sound lacking an HFC. These results suggest the existence of a previously unrecognized response to complex sound containing particular types of high frequencies above the audible range. We term this phenomenon the "hypersonic effect.
Look who is not being open to facts?
Tell the researchers who done all the work, in numerous publications, that it's just Hyperbole... to you!

I would also speculate that this could be a reason why some prefer DSD files..
Ok, I will accept your opinion and also appreciate that you made me aware of what I didn't fully look into.You conveniently left out as you lot always do that this was a controversial scientific study and that numerous other studies have contradicted the portion of the results relating to the subjective reaction to high-frequency audio, finding that people who have "good ears" listening to SACD and high resolution DVD Audio recordings on high fidelity systems capable of reproducing sounds up to 30 kHz cannot tell the difference between high resolution audio and the normal CD sampling rate of 44.1 kHz.
