The player they're using may not be transparent or set up wrong.

Their VM could also inject unacceptable levels of jitter, and depending on the DAC they're using, this could be a problem.įurther opportunities for error: The audio stack in their Windows installation might not be transparent. As I said above: Testing the digital stream out of the VM is trivial - verifying it takes listening to about one song, and doing a bit of editing on it in a wave editor of some sort. This is also testing 101: If you, through your listening tests, think there are errors - investigate and measure.

If they're not outputting directly to the hardware, the audio driver in the VM can introduce errors into the bitstream. If they're testing with an external DAC, the VM can introduce plenty of timing errors. Given that they're testing in a virtual machine, there are any number of possibilities here. This however, is contradictory to selling ads, so the subjective press takes an uninformed and dim view of it, while at the same time betraying journalistic principles. Whether that blinded testing is ABX or preference testing is irrelevant - the general idea is that you should remove any conscious or unconscious bias on behalf of the listener. They would have to conduct a properly blinded experiment to do this. In other words, they fail "Testing 101", which is "eliminate bias". In other words, they're hearing a difference because they think they can hear a difference. So, what are they hearing? Some possibilities: With some difficulty, Windows audio is also bit perfect (My experience from an older machine is that it was bit perfect with periodic glitches, but that's probably a function of that specific laptop which was underpowered, and not an example of good electronic engineering either (headphone output, for instance, was unusable due to noise).

I've actually verified that the bits that leave my Macbook Pro are the same as those bits that reside on my disk by using an external SPDIF loopback. That sounds completely insane, and completely in line with what I expect from the subjective audiofool press. Subreddit's theme is /r/Minimaluminiumalism.
