" When the brain can't confirm an expected degradation, then it often imagines an improvement"
maybe, but it would take some very careful research and testing for me to buy that.
Basically what you are saying then is that no matter what, people will often hear improvements with any change, regardless of their expectation about the change.
This is inconsistent with my personal experience, and I have seen no emperical evidence to back it up.
And if it were true, we would all hear that a $20 DAC sounds better than a $2000 DAC. Makes no sense...
