Over the last week that led to the long post at the end of the first page it's been playing most of the day as well for about 18-20 hours of exposure. I play through speakers. If I'm running to the other end of the house or running in the basement for something I turn the volume up so I can still hear it.
As a probable contributing factor my sound system is way beyond what most people use. I'm using a Gustard A22 DAC, Akitika PR-102 preamp with Burson V6 Classic opamps, Akitika GT-102 power amp, Bose Interaudio 4000 speakers (unlike most Bose speakers these are actually decent) and use quality Belden cables connecting everything. Aside from the obvious benefits with lossless and hi-res music, spoken word products I listen to come through clearer and the information penetrates on a much deeper level. No matter how much audio I pump through it at any comfortable volume there is never any fatigue. YMMV greatly by plugging cheapo speakers into the back of your motherboard.
Damn, how much does all that cost and do you believe its necessary?
