As I explicitly wrote in my post...
Reading is fundamental.
And yet people can enjoy their music without denying the science behind the hearing...

opposite is also true. as you dont need to know the science to enjoy music.
A recent review in a hi-fi magazine compared DACs ranging from 150 euros to 2500 euros. They included a vanilla 2013 Macbook pro in the blind tests.
According to the measurements and blind testing the Macbook Pro was found comparable to the best DACs and beat the average ones. It failed only with difficult headphone loads.
The obviously didn't test too hard. The grounding on the headphone jack on Apple hardware has blown ass for years now.
I dont care to give you scientific explanations, I did my own testing, drew my own conclusions and made my own cables and it worked out very well.
If I was to say I did somethying else then I wouldnt be telling the truth.
Perhaps you prefer that or would rather not hear peoples experience
If you cant tell the difference, dont blame me.
I agree that there is plenty of snake oil out there and I'm not partial to it either.
But not everyone can perceive really fine detail and even less seem to care even when they can hear it.
It took me a long time to work my way up to the equipment I have now because I wasnt sure if it was worth spending the money.
But I am satisfied with what I have now and dont want to change any of it, every part made a very appreciable difference to me.
I'm not selling anything other than my experience.
Some things may be myth, but not what I have done.
Perhaps this isnt the topic for you.
Dont spoil it for those that can appreciate it.
Had Realtek from Motherboard few years ago. Then changed to Xonar STX. Pretty big difference, and I'm no audiophile/expert.
Swans M10 Speakers on both setups.
