I have never engaged in the sort of 'blind' test you suggest; and I doubt I
could *name* each player correctly in the way you suggest. But, I'm sure I
could hear difference, and rank them according to my preference. And, I
expect, the player I prefer would come out on top.
It's rather as though, when sampling various vintages, I would be unable to
identify each vintage; but, after ranking them by preference, I found that
the highest rank vintage is, indeed, my preferred vintage.

that's Dana, D A N A, NOT Donna, D O N N A
If your synthesizer pronounces them identically, instruct your customized
pronunciation dictionary that Dana=dayna.

Subject: Re: Does the sound quality of different software media players
differ?
An interesting way to test this would be to play a song to someone using
say Foobar, Winamp and Windows Media Player without them knowing which
player was playing the song and then see if they could identify the
players correctly. I certainly don't think I could tell what software
player was playing a file just by listening to it. This raises the
issue of whether a software player sounds better to someone simply
because they like that player better. I don't have all the answers to
this debate but it raises some interesting issues.
