Perceived SQ differences playing local files

[the_bertrum]

Yes apparantly not enought time to mention Time. Even less likely is a mention of the transfer method used after the bits leave the safe haven of the file/stream reader :-0

In conversations of this type, I always wish to know the "why" of it. There is plenty of "why" to explain how accurate timing is important in conversion and transport after the safe haven, but I've yet to ever hear a "why" for how the information in a file can be corrupted in specific detectable but non-destructive ways by things like plugging a USB cable in the other way before it leaves that safe haven. For some, that they hear a difference is enough never mind the why, for me I always want to know why.
