If I have two files on two different drives and they both have the same MD5 checksum it does not follow that playing them back will result in the same sound quality for reasons that have been thoroughly discussed over the years in this forum. For example, one drive might be an SSD and another spinning rust, etc... The same argument can apply if both files are on the same volume. One might be fragmented, the other might not...... etc.Of course, but that is not what is in question here.
Lets say a music file was ripped from a CD using CD/DVD drive A on a switching power supply. Now if that same CD track is ripped again on the same CD/DVD drive A but this time using a linear power supply, and both files are checked to be identical (AccurateRip / MD5), how would those files possibly be different to cause an audible difference?
The point being, it did not matter whether a switching power supply or a linear power supply was used.
