"Fellow computer audio enthusiast (and Naim PR person) Stephen Harris and I launched into some preliminary listening tests, to establish under reasonably controlled conditions if audible, repeatable differences could really be heard. We readily confirmed that the final sound quality is influenced not only by the choice of network player, DAC, digital cables, or indeed many other long-recognized factors, but additionally — and quite markedly — by the manner in which we now store large quantities of our music at home." First, the nature of the tests conducted is not adequately described. Were they double blind ABX? Second, they confirmed a sound difference between digital cables, which many others have utterly failed to do in double-blind ABX tests. This suggests to me that their testing methodology is deeply flawed and the author should be disregarded unless he posts more details.
