Wow, that's incredible. Mmm yes, I love digitally encoded music to be slightly thicker and resistant to... hearing?

This is why I love audiophile marketing/reviews so much. They make every single equipment "upgrade" sound like a huge change in how the music sounds. Just throw in enough dull and lively sounding adjectives and you can convince the reader that yes, this expensive piece of equipment is EXACTLY what you're missing!
