RE: you seem to have a problem with deductive reasoning and staying on topic

"Your reasoning is flawed
You did A and then B happened so A had to cause B.
You changed latency and the sound changed so the change in latency changed the sound.
That is as conclusive as I farted in bed this morning and an hour later the sun came up so farting causes the sun to rise."


Excellent!!!!

Unfortunately, many of the inmates are clueless when it comes to scientific method, logic, statistics, whatever. What do you expect from an asylum? Some issues from the past: offset errors when ripping files from CD, identical rips sounding different as a function of the drive used to read the CD, WAV files recreated from FLAC files made from WAV files not sounding the same as the original WAV, etc... Plus, of course, the traditional problems when comparing analog components, including lack of precise level matching.


"If you can explain how waiting a second to press the play button could change the sound then I will accept you as the digital god."

The sound will be different each time the play button is depressed. This includes (a) the sound waves, and (b) a listener's perceptions. I'm talking correlation, not causation, BTW. There is also the matter of contrafactual definiteness. :-)
