My point is simply if you have 2 identical files played under identical conditions, shouldn't they sound identical? I believe the answer to that should be "yes." But when I do play the identical files under identical conditions I get 2 different sounding pops. I think that if there is a "pop" that a specific player is causing, it should sound the same for identical files. But it's not. That's confusing me. Maybe I'm missing something here, as I am new to all this, but commom sense seems to suggest what I just said should be the case.
Also my post *16 above seems to confuse things more.
