"However, when it comes to micro measurements, so far as I know, there is nothing out there that can reveal whatever it is that carcass93 hears."
I recall reading in one of the cics threads as to how noise related to computer processing was measured on the output of a DAC. The spectrum of the noise was related to the buffer processing rate in the software, e.g. would change as buffer sizes were adjusted.
Not sure if this is what carcass93 was hearing, but it's a good explanation of some of the differences that I and many others have heard. It also explains why real time playback of FLAC files often sounds different from converting the FLAC files to WAV and then playing the WAV files. (Among other reasons, this avoids an extra buffering stage and the necessary processing, probably at a different cycle rate because of variable bit rate encoding used by FLAC).
