Then I think you need to review a little on the design of experiments.
Yeah sure, I need to revisit fine calibration of 0dB loopback gain and at range of operating levels, I need to run alternate loopback cables, I need to take a closer look at the static noise floor, etc. We all know I need to run deeper and more precise experiment, however what I have done so far is good enough for now and experimental error of 0.1db level or less or slight difference in noise floor does not spoil the party. As it is, the nature of the 01>02 subjective changes are significant and consistent and predictable and not pathologically caused or corrupted by the soundcard itself. Of higher significance are the 02>03 and 02>04 changes and this is where the really interesting fun starts...conduction and transduction and dielectrics are interesting subjects indeed. I have offered up a bunch of files and so far nobody has confessed to taking a listen to what is but a sample of what I get to hear on my system. Suggest or send a full quality file (ie not Youtube or MP3 etc) and I will process it and put it to Dropbox. I/we are of engineering perspective, sometimes it is good to drop the 'education' and just listen with clear and positive mind and enjoy the music, that's what inspired my interest in sound since very young childhood.
However I have found throughout my audio career that many factors contrive to hinder the enjoyment factor in home replay music systems. In this experimenting I am able to deliberately and predictably modify/remaster recordings......this goes long ways to confirming that equipment and components and cables can sound different and can have signature. IOW all existing equipment is tone/dynamics control of sorts, understand the rules and sub-clauses and then sound equipment design results are no longer random.

It seems they have forgotten how to listen, that's if they ever knew, that's if they ever had the gear to listen on..... The likes of BQP is too 'far out' for their comprehension, but they have papers certifying that they 'comprehend' physics as it is taught......perhaps the teachings are incomplete, that is another subject. I also have papers stating that I can answer questions of a bunch of theories that I have been taught. I find these taught theories and models fit the real world only so far, and some assertions made based on accepted general theories are plain false, it's time to smell the coffee.

It certainly is nuts.
Bybee lives... just like homeopathy, titanium necklaces, copper bracelets, magnetic bracelets, and many other forms of quackery.
Not only do I remember how to listen, I remember listening to your last set of files. The ones that you said were bit-identical (they were) but sounded different (they didn't). You said the difference was obvious and not subtle, but nobody could hear a difference. I for one am not interested in repeating that experience. I have no interest in listening to these tracks, and now we are told that they are not even competently prepared. Why are you wasting our time?
A neutral 3rd partly told me they do something, although its not quite clear what that something is. Add a bit of distortion, from what I can gather. I think we can all agree they don't do what the advertising claims say they do. Regarding distortion, why add any at all?
Could somebody explain to me what "bybee lives" is meaning in this context?
I can only find this description:

If it's about this thing:
6moons audio reviews: Bybee Slipstream XLR Magic Bullet
and if this "quantum purifiers" really do something...shouldn't they be used inside the electronic components instead in cabling between units with no "quantum ...whatever"?

Maybe that's because you continue to destroy any remaining credibility**) of yours with silly 'experiments'?
A while ago you presented us bit-identical files (which means: always the *same* file) to listen for a difference. I mean, really?
Recently, you presented loopback recordings where in one case the files (with ferrite vs. without) have been identical to way down into the (rather high) noise floor, again asking to listen for differences. The residual was equal to what one would see with two consecutive runs but no other changes, just the normal run-to-run deviations. Still you claimed there is a identifyable audible difference clearly correlated to the ferrite and nothing else.
And now, you did something similar but dropped even the most basic controls to make sure your process of looback recording isn't broken.
You are carelessly playing with our time and effort, man!
**) the challenge I proposed would help restore some of your credibility in case you pass it but it would destroy it, forever and completely, if you don't. That's why you try to sidestep it and call for a counter-challenge, right?
I mean, this will take some of my time, too, and you're the one who's making the claims, not me.
You'd be surprised how many engineering types here have that attitude, thinking out of the box and try things that conflict common sense or education. This curiousity is what drives engineering and science, after all.
But there are sanity baselines....
Thank you dreamt
The most informative contribution I have read about those devices.
Dan I had listened to the files you uploaded around two weeks ago and I couldn’t hear any difference between them.
I haven’t commented on this because as I have said again, my hearing is not good.

He's been talking about this stuff and his "experiments" for years, and this is the best he can come up with?
This is a person who has implied that leaded solder is harmful to listen to and that you can hear the difference between copper, silver, and gold leaf as a shield. That's just recent, not counting the bit-identical files sounding different and all kinds of other nonsense.
He is either a master troll or a total nutjob.
Most of his claims make BQPs look reasonable.
