I agree on the subjective quality of the Two Flames. But I predict that it will ruin timbral accuracy of normal music. You know, musicians pay great attention to timing etc when playing their instruments. It is what separates good musicians from bad ones. You want to hear why a great musician is great regardless of recording quality. That kind of accuracy. (So next time, choose music from some legends).
It was local CDs, not something you can find globally. I have been years not listening to CDs so haven't seen them around hehe...
BTW, the analogy of Test Dept to Two Flames is like Solen MKP to ERO MKT (as input coupling cap) 🙂

The two cuts lined up in time quite remarkably far less than 1 sample period over the whole time, maybe you mean PRAT.
OK, you have lost me in pedantry. I have no idea what I will hear in Dan’s files, but I will put off listening until tomorrow, as today you are having a negatively intrusive effect upon my finer sensibilities.
Well, I have never been called a grasshopper before. Is that a compliment or an insult?Max Headroom said:

I'm not sure it is pedantry. If we are going to bandy about terms we should at least use the right terms? Question still is, what is the right term? Confirmation bias is the closest I can find, but I'm not convinced. Congruence bias also seems to apply to Dan as does Conservatism.
It has a scientific meaning, that's fine, but it's also two words, that everyone understands, put together in a context that people can also understand, is that really so wrong?
OK Bill, I will go along with that.
It’s actually quite difficult to form a consensus of understanding here ....... sometimes.

Hi Alan,
Tried that but then had to fish out my glasses from the inside of a washing machine with zero vision 😀
It's impossible. We can't even agree on simple terms like 'dynamics' or 'soundstage'. But we can't give up or madness will ensue.It’s actually quite difficult to form a consensus of understanding here ....... sometimes.
How about 'subconscious predisposition?' If it has no formal definition, then its free for the taking.
Well that’s a lot to go over......at least it seems semi civil so far, I’ve been working long days and wife is leaving for NC in the morning.
I’ll hit those tracks up in the morning dan sorry I haven’t had time today.
But it would definately be interesting to have the same tracks available for all to analyze and discuss both objectively and subjectively.

Grasshopper is the childhood reference name used by the Shaolin master of the protagonist during his martial arts and philosophy schooling in the tv series "Kung Fu."
In the vernacular it means apprentice and the one calling you that is the master.

I think I have stumbled into this as well, a while ago. I have observed this high frequency hash modulating the noise floor on the output of the AK4490 while I was looking for differences between PCM / DSD drive.
It got less pronounced in the DSD (256) drive mode. https://www.diyaudio.com/forums/ven...4490-usb-dac-dsd-support-149.html#post5287570
Could be connected to the multibit modulation scheme?
Ciao, George

Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference between the two, quoted below.
