John, I have no need to argue with you.
You just made my point for me.
You said "Any differences from the analog stages are SO SMALL that **I** don't hear them and MOST of my friends don't hear them, either. I have only had one audiophile friend over that COULD RELIABLY DETECT the difference and he claimed it was a very SMALL DIFFERENCE."
This reminds me of Julian Hirsch of Stereo Review.
For years he maintained that all amplifiers sounded the same. Then, late in his career he was a guest on Peter Sutheim's radio show "In Fidelity".
When Peter pressed him on the claim Julian said that if one listens carefully there are small differences.
He said it almost as if those differences shouldn't be of any concern to anyone.
But, of course, audiophiles live for those small differences and Julian should have known that all along. And you should know that.
Have a good day.
