This can be a bit misleading and confusing. Anyone trying to make a comparison using headphones should think about a few things. First headphones are not a good speaker to perform a comparison. Lets go back in time a little when Compact Disc came about most people said CD was better than LP's. Most people have never owned or listened to a good Turnable Phono Cartridge setup ever. So how would they even know. Now with that said, most people now are listening to Earbuds, car stereo's, computer speakers, and House audio systems. Which are all very forgiving of the source. Most of those people have never owned or heard a good stereo system (Not Home Theater System). I am not surprised by the results. A very simple but conclusive test could have been done using a good consumer grade CD player, Stereo Receiver and a nice pair of floor standing speakers or a Subwoofer and 2 smaller speakers. I believe the results would be different.
