Hi.As I already said, if one can't hear the difference, change hobby.
An iPot or a pocket radio can do the job.If one's audio gears can't deliver the sonic difference, upgrade it.
If one refuses to admit hearing the difference, God bless.
The question is: do you like or dislike such sonic difference given sonic difference is always there.
I don't doubt the Audio DiffMaker will do its job to screen out the sonic difference. But if whatever screened out by this "tweak" be noises instead of listenable music, it won't help us music lovers.
It may do a good job for those who prefer looking at the screen rather than listening to real music. But not for a rational subjective like yours truly.

"It may do a good job for those who prefer looking at the screen rather than listening to real music"One does listen with Diffmaker. It makes an audio file of the difference (between audio recordings of gear playing real music), not something on the screen. (Hey, but aren't you reading THIS on a screen?? What are you preferring at the moment?)
Understood that you may not care about such research; many of us do, though. And after all this forum is for "Technical and scientific discussion of amps, cables and other topics" (see upper right of the Prop Head page). And we can be both technical and appreciators of real music, just as you can both post on a computer and like real music.
Hi.If such sound analysers can split hair musically instead of grahically, I will be listening.
Tell me how the DiffMaker analyses the musical difference. They can compose songs to show different levels of difference?
Pardon my being ignorant of these new beasts.
No, DiffMaker doesn't analyze anything. The brain of the listener does that part.DiffMaker only provides a difference (ok, a result of any difference, soundcards not being nearly as good, apparently, as loudspeakers) for him to listen to. It does it by simple subtraction (after some very tedious and exacting level and time matching).
No, the result isn't necessarily music, just sound to hear or not hear. But then, again, this is a Technical forum!
