FWIW, with the Norah Jones track 'Creepin In' (not used in this test) I can not only ABX every codec bar musepack, I can also spot the aac and mp3 variants because of the way they degrade.
Did you calibrate the flux capacitor?

As soon as you find someone who starts talking to you about directional audio cables, you must do two things: discount anything else they have ever said to you, and laugh in their faces. While it may seem, to the uninformed, that music 'flows' from the CD / record player out to the speakers, we must always remember that speakers are AC. Alternating current is required to make the speaker cones move in and out.
The real problem is that with all that back and forth motion, the electrons can get very very tired. I recommend that everyone with directional cables should only play their scratchy old LPs for a few minutes each day, lest the electrons in their very expensive cables succumb to extreme fatigue. Come to think of it, the Golden Ear crowd better buy replacements for all their cables once a month -- just in case!

I have not looked at OOG or any of the other formats so I can't comment on the relative merits of them.
You, sir, are most certainly not aware of where you are posting that statement. On/., there is little to no precident for needing knowledge of any technology to authoritatively comment on it's merits.

You think that's insane? Take a look at this review of a freekin power cable .
pay out the nose for single directional cable
Ha ha ha! I love the directional cable talk!
