In addition to the HD621 as one variable you also have the interface as a second variable. The test with the HD621 requires the HDMI interface whereas the test without the HD621 requires the SPDIF. Assuming the interface can be ruled out is a leap of faith. But this assumption is both reasonable and necessary to do the test. Having said that, my experience is that you may not be able to notice the difference in a few minutes. But after listening to the HD621 all day then removing it, you will want the HD621 back in the loop. To me, the most prevalent thing is better bass. Even aging ears should hear this. Second is less fatigue. I can listen at higher volumes all day long without the Joe's Garage scenario (mother screams "turn it down!") I don't see your argument with interfaces. If anything HDMI will be worse and HD621 eventually transmits over SPDIF anyway (for 99.999% of us at the moment). But I appreciate your honesty on what to expect and it's not something you toggle and immediately hear the difference. That is more believable than some other claims I've read. However, I don't find my system fatiguing at all right now even at quite high volumes. I'm quite happy with that. I would also think the whole apodizing thing has the least impact on low frequencies. - Fiddler (IMHO) If you think listening to music is fun, try learning an instrument.
