I think that plays into this sort of thing much more than many audiofiles
are willing to admit, including the vinyl versus CD debate, and whether
320K bitrate sound substantially worse than CD quality. I'm not saying
that it's all psychological, but I'm just saying that it's probably, in my
opinion, more psychological than the experts and wannabe experts are
willing to admit.

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.
