"Clearly where a DBT is useful is when someone claims HUGE differences " = WrOnG ... wRoNg ... WrOnG

A DBT is useful to help an audiophile investigate whether any difference he thinks he hears in a sighted audition is real. That can very very useful when a lot of money is about to be at risk in a purchase decision

Simple A-B volume matching may eliminate the audible difference.

Most important is using tests over the years to reduce the common bias that everything sounds different (to your ears), which can cost a lot of money over a lifetime.

A 'subtle difference heard some of the time' can be just as much BS as a 'HUGE difference even the Monster-in-Law could hear'.

I don't recall reading about many subtle differences heard some of the time in audio magazines -- such differences must be "rare".
