It's impossible to know if it is system impedance or something else that leads to a larger perceptible difference on the Chord vs. the Chromecast.
Ostensibly, the Chromecast may be able to tolerate a wider cable impedance range without degradation. Therefore, both cables sound more similar than different. The Chord may be a tighter range and therefore the cables sound more different than similar.
Hence why a cable sounds like gold on one system and kaka on another.
Assuming the blind testing was done in a valid way, I'm interested in this particular case .
We can measure all 3 components and figure out what is really happening here.
To be that noticeable something interesting is happening and I'd love to discover what!
P.S. sayin' it's impossible and throwing out an electronic conspiracy theory equivalent is not very helpful ... although it's very in
