Thanks.  I was able to do DR for several of my CD's.  Is there a stand alone program that will do DR for higher rez files (I have lots of 192/24 rips from vinyl and tapes, and quite a few DSD files)?   Larry

FYI, there's a very famous paper "Intransitivity of Preferences" published in 1969 in Psychological Review by the late great Amos Tversky that does this very same trick. Tversky called the perceptual structure leading to this type of cycle a lexicographical semiorder. I think I recall Tversky saying that the earliest reported observations of such cycles were for some kind of auditory stimulus too--perhaps varying loudness. I will look it up.

 

Tversky's colleague Daniel Kahneman's fun book "Thinking Fast and Slow" is a good read for the layperson.  Talks about many issues which, I think, apply to audiophile nervosa.  Kahneman says several times that Tversky would have shared the Nobel prize with him, if he had not died prematurely.

My suggestion is to use the DR plugin for foobar.  It will measure anything you throw at it.

Thanks.  I'll have to figure out how to get Foobar.   Larry
