    I’ve always been able to tell (with 100% accuracy) the difference between compressed and uncompressed audio (even when it’s “lossless” compression)

    ???

    The data coming out of your DAC is identical with lossless compression

        Or he does what most audiophiles do and look at the label/bitrate/price tag and say “Hmm, yes, that is of far higher quality”. Not saying that differences don’t exist, but I’ve noticed audio tends to be especially rife with people who claim to be able to hear differences where they should not be humanly perceptible and will fail blind tests time and time again.
