Interesting read. Honestly it sounds cool with all the specs underneath the shell. But obviously it’s just not worth unless you have the ear for it. In other words, you’d have to be a sound engineer to really get the most out of something like this.

I have hard time believing that anybody can hear difference with this and good quality phone.

I associate audiophiles for people that think they can hear difference when they pay extra but actually don’t when blind-tested. This seems to be perfect product for them.

Audio engineer here, it’s a trainable skill that takes a long time with comparing audio side-by-side

At to some point you can but after CD-quality you cannot. Did you read the article?

As sound engineer you should know that you use high quality to record but it makes no extra sense after CD-quality to listen.

if listening to music from a “good quality phone” is enough for you, good for you. But why would you need to dis people who are craving for a better sound ?
