Yes, thank you. Its a good idea, low level time domain behavior is frequently of interest. However, not much need for that type of investigation at the moment with AK4499, and it is what currently takes up most of my hobby time.
The attitude you mention with plugging into AP or nothing is pretty pervasive out there. Consider the primary product of ASR, for example.
It's pointless because even if he does, he won't follow through. It's all for his show.

I had noticed AnaDev had also paid close attention to this region 🙂 And was better than most down there.

I expect more from both sides, equally bothersome are sighted listening tests with no path or hypothesis for an explanation. The two signals that represent a stereo recording sampled at fs are a known quantity there is no missing or hidden information. Claims to the otherwise violate the second law and it is fair for me to dismiss them out of hand. We are not here to rewrite all known physics.
"No measurement, do discussion" is funny, because many people here do not understand what it cause if there is any audible difference.
If you do not understand the relationship between measurement and the sound, just don't measure it.

All this damn mess is just for this, Scott: To listen to music.
I can make a parallel with another of my passion: photography.
Same history (analog(Vinyl) = argentic -> digital (DSLR) with the same problematics than in audio).
Argentic measure quite bad. Noisy, limited in overall dynamic, hard to make perfect clones, difficult to keep over time etc.
But analog is full of poetry, let-you concentrated on the message or the subject ... magical. I'm thinking at some tube amps...
Digital, nowadays, is 10 time better. On the technical point of vue. A total different artistic approach. But all the histograms in the viewfinder will not tell you as much as looking directly at the photo.
See what I mean ?

Robert Doisneau (I had the luck to know the guy) would have been so happy to read this. In French, amateur means "Who loves" and that defines him perfectly, including in the work which consists in erasing the traces, full of sweat, of the "professional" work and let the spectator in direct contact with the emotion.
In addition, he was full of humor and self-mockery.
That's the difficulty of this high fidelity dupe game. The high definition of our modern technologies highlights all the shortcomings of musicians. the search for technical perfection in the studio kills emotion. An overly sharp reproduction system draws the listener's attention to the detriment of music and emotion. But creates a technical requirement which no longer allows us to go back.
On stage, there is a sharing of emotions between musicians and audience that does not go through the cables.
We are fighting on this forum between two worlds which communicate less and less together.
To make a parallel with the automobile, that of the lathe and milling machine operators, in front of their digital machine tool, and that of the driver who says "I have good feelings with this car."
On the Formula One circuits, they collaborate with mutual respect and love, here we fight with knifes. Why ?
The only worthwhile competition in life is the one we engage against ourselves.

Actually, the photograph is a good example to use of a high res (as high as you want) but no picture looks like what i see with my naked eye ball.
Same for sound; An LP or as high rez record/play as possible vs live....
Both are "flat". Maybe why we are moving towards 3D and immersive, surround et al sound fields to aid in realism impression. Though that too is not exactly what we hear with our nakid ears. just more believable/realistic simulation.
That is to say, High resolution and/or very low thd/IM alone does not mean it is getting much more realistic over-all.

Perhaps why i love the Blues. Played with feeling and you get it. It isnt a technical exercise. Its about real people and thier experiences and feelings and is played in such a way as you feel what they are playing/telling. A good blues tune will bypass the brain and go direct to your heart.
if you have one. Some here, i have my doubts.

"BS shouting" or "FUD shouting" seems not to be the most constructive discussion style......
IOW, please try some arguments that IMO really could help this thread.
Just some of us.
In a different thread, I raised the hypothesis that these are the ones who had an unhappy childhood. Strangely, the hypothesis was refuted. 🙂
