RE: Beware bringing music in to work!

. . . you speculate that human hearing is more acute and discerning than modern test equipment

Falsely posed - the two are different. Even when my 'scope was working, it couldn't hear a thing.

It is fatuous to equate perception with "modern test equipment", esp so when the equipment is not described.

. . . and that the human ear can hear things test equipment will miss.

If that weren't so, electrical engineers wouldn't know what to measure. As it is, when new audio-related phenomena are detected, engineers use their considerable skills to describe the perceived differences in electrical terms. See e.g. the data on audible differences between capacitor types and the history of how those differences were first detected then later measured and explained.

Identical waveforms will sound the same.

Er, by definition. Whether small but perhaps critical-in-audio-terms differences between waveforms are readily detected visually, let alone measured, is of course a different matter.
