Will be some fun and may even last a few hours before it goes to the recycle.bin there

Of course it is. Complaining about flac decoded to wav sounding different to original wavs is a hit these weeks.

Thanks. Send your mailing address as well so I can send you the memory stick with the test files.

I haven't read through this whole thread, only the first page and I strongly believe that cable is snake-oil. I doubt anyone can hear or measure any difference between SATA cables.

You are of course correct; it can't possibly make a difference.
A truly bad cable could cause issues due to poor sheilding, causing EMI/RFI pickup in audio circuits. SATA has data integrity checking so if a cable works, it works, and if it doesn't, it doesn't. There is no in-between.
Of course logic, science, and rational thinking will never prevent certain golden-ear-endowed individuals from hearing a difference (positive of course) resulting from an expensive but technically minor change to the most obscure parts of the system.

Yeah, exactly what I thought. I guess the difference TS hears is placebo. Placebo should not be underestimated but it's no evidence for that the mod works either :P

If you received my PM, you would realise that it was meant to be a tongue in cheek warning.
