You are welcome to put forward the view that the ABX box modifies the signal in some unmeasureable way. This is only a view rather than a scientific hypothesis because it is untestable if one cannot measure it. I am afraid to those with some understanding of the basis of science your view will not get taken seriously because the subject clearly lies in the scientific domain.

Elsewhere in this thread I have been asking you whether you can measure the differences you hear and have explained why this is a relevant question. You have not answered.
> Where do you get off telling us what 'science' is?
What is and what is not science is relevant when thinking about how much weight to give various statements. Sound and audio lie in the scientific domain unlike, say, religion and much of music and so statements about the performance of audio based on "unscientific" information is relevant.
> Are you some sort of 'expert' on the subject?
The scientific method is taught at school and so there really is not much to be expert about.
