I can see how defragmenting the data (by transfering back and forth) could have an audible effect. This is consistent with what you said about the first transfer giving most of the improvement. Does not explain any differences due to cables (assuming the files are identical).
I have not tried this rewrite software because my PC is 32 bits.

That's not even sci-fi- that's just.... tragic?
I don't even know the word.
When was the last time any of you have received a clean bill of health from a psychologist?
If your HDD is having read errors, perhaps it's the HDD and not "quantum encryption" from different USB cables?

At the first line at that website there is alredy an inconsistency.
“Biological Organisation as the True Foundation of Reality”
If things are the way he says they are (observation creates and changes reality), then there would be no True!
No, the entire premise is utterly bananas. As Scott already said, there's either no difference or something is pathologically wrong. In terms of perceived differences in this circumstance, the pathological equipment exists between the ears.
I find the self aggrandizing "rogue genius" who thinks he can beat well-established physics principles utterly baffling. Do people think they're that clever to miss something that has been validated in so many orthogonal methods?
Actually, if the file being played is being read from the HDD, then voltage fluctuations alone (due to a lot of head movement because of fragmented file) can, theoretically, give rise to an audible difference due to modulation of the power supplies and also radiated EMI. Please note that I am not a believer in these sound differences, I am just providing the only plausible explanation I can reason.
I am not suggesting quatum anything, on the contrary. Once you invoke that there´s no True anymore - just like I said above.

I've seen sidebands at the right frequency to be caused by spinning disk/servo tracking current coupling to analog out with a ESI Juli@ looking at a cheap Oppo universal player output with a sine wave test disk
the sidebands at inaudible level when psychoacoustic masking/hearing threshold in the presence of the stimulus is considered
but no bit were harmed

My colleagues and I still believe in our ears. Whatever we can hear, especially if several of us can hear a difference, is provisionally real, and we try to both duplicate what the change is, and to understand WHY the difference exists.
Now, I have heard lots of criticisms of our approach, but that does not change our REALITY. We operate within our REALITY, not on what others tell us that 'learned studies' etc imply what we should be able to hear.
Now, when did this situation come up first in earlier decades?
Well: Have you ever heard of 'Ohm's Law of Acoustics'? Yes, it did exist in print in the 1930's through 1960's, and perhaps much earlier.
This stated that the ear was 'phase deaf', and they had models of the ear, and even listening tests that proved it. Yes, even a 2-4 foot path difference in loudspeaker drivers was considered inaudible. That is why the K-horn was once a reference standard in audio playback.
I was there in 1968 when Richard Heyser politely stated that sometimes even a 2 foot difference might be audible at an AES presentation, and Paul Klipsch got up and said "Bullsh-t!" We have come a ways since then I'm pretty sure.
All new ideas, concepts, findings, etc are usually met with skepticism and scorn, but they are not all wrong, but many will condemn virtually all of them without even listening for a difference. And so it goes! '-)

But listening to the files might not be a waste of time for other purposes.
Like looking for the ghost in the machine? Why do we even dignify this rather than call it as it is -- a bunch of bananas?
JCX brings up the only thing that remotely has a chance--rail pumping. If he has a plot of the sidebands due to HDD loading, I'd love to see it, and *then* you have to see if somehow doing whatever Dan is doing to the files (which were/are on a USB drive anyhow?) affects the HDD rail pumping. And this is before asking how far down this effect is.
As far as my violating physics, I was more talking about "cheating noise". Who of you lot wants to rewrite solid state physics for the rest of us?
This Additive synthese waveform generator shows that phases of harmonics are distinctly audible.
Dan.
Fair enough. I wasn't necessarily criticizing you here, though. More the premise. Sorry for the rant.
