Hmmmmmm. Let's see. I've actually compared how the Lyr and the Asgard sound - and I say they sound different.
How many times do I have to remind you that this is the Sound Science forum?
What, did you take a wrong turn at Albuquerque and think you ended up a one of the DBT-Free forums here?
That's right, there are other forums here where you can say whatever you want without anyone pestering you to actually substantiate your claims. But in Sound Science, it's precisely the opposite. Such claims demand that they be substantiated.
I'm not quite to the point of believing that you're just too thick to understand this. So I have to ask, why do you keep doing it?
The manufacturer says they sound different.
So? Their claim is just as unsubstantiated as yours. But unlike you, they're not making that claim here in the Sound Science forum.
You are.
Virtually everyone I know who owns either, but has auditioned both, agrees that they sound different.
And
everyone, not "virtually everyone," but literally
every one of those people were human beings. And while we don't know everything, one thing we do know, and gave for a very long time, is that human subjective perceptions are embarrassingly unreliable when it comes to things like this. That's why, when measurements don't show any obvious flaws that are within know audible thresholds, we need to use adequate controls to separate fact from fiction. Or to put it a better way, separate fact from simply being human
Yet you, who don't even claim to have actually heard either one, "just know" that they "can't possibly" sound different based on the specs (which neither one of us has confirmed anyway).
Now you're just flat out lying about me. I'm not even going to be so kind as to call it being disingenuous. You're a flat out liar. I never said any such thing. Not literally or figuratively.
All I did was poke some fun at your claim that the Lyr was rolled off in the high end when it specs out to 500 kHz.
That's really impressive.... but it's getting to be a bit boring.
What's impressive is your lying about someone and then sarcastically saying "That's really impressive."
Perhaps it's not really rolled off - and it's some other sort of "psychoacoustic effect" - or perhaps their specs are just wrong (I didn't measure it).
Or perhaps you're just human and your subjective perceptions aren't nearly what your vanity and ego would lead you to believe that they are.
