You missed the context, it was copying the same file to two different SD cards.
Haha, I mean youngsters liking honest old school rock'n'roll as opposed to the current pap.
Yes, I use a few AccaDacca tracks as full on test tracks, instructive in a good way on particular tracks, and not that one.
R.E.M. - What's The Frequency, Kenneth? is another useful track.
I enjoy both.
For total energy rock'n'roll, AcDc are at the top of the genre.
Yes, forget going to 11, these guys go straight to 12.
They do reduce system rough edges.
I am exploring further curious effects.

Like I said Flash memory is prone to noisy numbers of electrons delivered to the eight voltage state (3 bit) memory cells.
Write and read errors are expected, and error detection and correction is built in to Flash memory systems.
It could be that differing errors are causing differing correction activity that then translates to differing data output timing....dunno, just some thoughts.
USB magnetic HD also exhibits subjective PB differences in two copies of same file that a File Checker Tool reports as being same binary data.
Emailing the two files together preserves a subjective difference.
I need to run more permutations to see if emailing changes sent files wrt local HD original file copies.
Something very curious is going on.
Dan.
Maybe you could post sample files that show what you mean?
Regarding possible differences in output timing, normally things get reclocked somewhere in the DAC. For a DAC-1 everything goes into a buffer memory in the DAC box that stores the data until it is clocked out by the internal DAC-1 clock. Don't know how any timing differences in a computer could survive that.

Sorry, i don't drink that without any prooven information.
Do you have any reference, links or similar?
I am really interested, it is the first time i read this. And i have been reading a lot around cartridges.
I like my MC, but really can not understand this.
Thanks

Quite. Be interesting to do a bit-wise compare of the files. If no difference there, the only differences would be the file names and/or other metadata unique to a particular copy of a file. Hard to see how that might affect anything. Between files being bitwise identical and being reclocked identically, there would not seem to be way to account for any different sound. I suppose that if you had a suspicious virus scanner that dynamically delayed one file intermittently while it checked it, and the player software tried to make up for a late buffer now and then by repeating the last good buffer, or something like that, then maybe some artifact could be produced. However, if you sent the digital out to the DAC by SPDIF, for example, used a SPDIF splitter to pick off a copy of the bitstream being sent out the the DAC, and then recorded the bitstream to a new file, then you should see bit pattern changes in the new file as compared to the original if any artifacts or changes actually occured.
It would, however, be a lot of work for something unlikely to pay off...

You have a huge mountain to prove there. And still, you have not supplied any different-but-same files to show your point.
Not surprising - most of that 'post-appopolectic thrash metal punk' is like that.
Worst I can recall was 'Accelerate' from REM. Some of the stuff Waly and Scott listen to however might eclipse it
Most, but not all, modern popular music is played with some degree of swing (or funk). Typically, it mostly has to do with the timing of how 1/8th notes are played. Unfortunately, written music notation has no accurate way of conveying what that aspect of music is supposed to sound like. Therefore, most classical music is played pretty straight. Or if there is temporal variation, it is sometimes meant to be artsy and fluid, and not dance-able like modern pop music usually is. The only exception I know of is Viennese waltz's, which are traditionally played with a time-extended 2nd beat (in 3/4 time). So anyway, I am left wondering if in classical times they ever played their music with a bit more of a groove to it than the way we usually hear it interpreted today.
Windham Hill? They used to do very careful analog recordings in the 80's. They do have some good stuff too.

If you hit all the notes right on the beat it sounds technical. Right on the front of the beat is rushed. All the swing and groove is the application of playing just behind the beat to varying degrees. Taken to extremes will push 4 beats into the territory of triplets. It's all feel and no one can be force trained to do it really right. It just comes or not.
BTW ACDC is pretty bare bones rock. Never was my cup of tea. But the head turner with them is the sales they commanded.

Audiophile plink plonk, as I like to call it. Something that's "well recorded" but boring as hell!
