"That thought being that the brain works harder when there is more perceived distortion. Is there a perpetuating audio myth here?"
I have read in more than one publication that phase errors cause undue stress to the brain as we process reproduced music. That once corrected the brain doesn't have to work as hard to process the information. The end result is a more relaxed and enjoyable music presentation. Robert Harley touched on this a year or so ago when using those freeze frame binoculars as an analogy of how an outboard clock can improve digital audio reproduction. As I have recently added such a device myself I couldn't agree more with his thesis.
