The problem is not the ears, but the extremely complex low-level processing the signal goes through in your brain before it reaches your consciousness. Some types of distortion are easily heard because your brain is specialized to detect them. Other types fly past your brain unnoticed, even if by objective measures the magnitude of distortion is much larger. So the issue is not exactly how much distortion does your audio system introduce by some autistic measure, but what types of distortion and how hearable they are to a human audio detection stack.
The same problem exists, to a lesser degree, in measuring image quality. Every quantifiable measure will be somewhat off compared to perceived quality.

Gold plating is only for connectors, and even then it's not necessary, all it does is increases interfacing surface area from fuckall to fuckall and a half. But that's not necessarily an improvement in conductivity of the connection because gold is a worse conductor than aluminium.
Aiden Cooper
Gold is also good for corrosion resistance, as a silver or aluminum surface oxidizes easily and their conductivity degrade as a result

Either way they plate plugs with jack shit amounts of it and being soft metal it wears off rapidly, defeating any benefits.

192 or 256 maybe. Nothing is transparent at 160

it's artisanal php with warmer sound reproduction

You can nitpick about Vorbis if you want to, but Opus as 160k is transparent, without a doubt. I use it at 128k, since killer samples aren't part of my daily listen.

wrong.
think it comes down to their database. is there any reason your player wouldn't be able to display japanese text, with your setup?
