... I would love to take part i something like that, to see if a raspberry Pi DAC/Amp versus a Naim Statement or whatever could be picked out blind, I find it fascinating. Anyway, drifted off my own thread!

But I would like to put the system together by myself. I think the problem with double blinds is that they are done by people that are expecting to hear no differences. So they lack of skills to put the system together the right way. No offence, but let it be done by someone who knows the gears. For example I would give full trust to the experience/knowledge of Antoine to put together such a sytem.
Let the nobelievers do the whole administrative procedures, I'm ok with that.
If you got a perfectly tuned system playing at top level there is no chance you prefer a mp3-file against a 16/44.1, even if the "normal people testers" degenerated to only listen to mp3 nowadays.
So these popular double blinds on the net are a nonsense and only feed the nobelievers expectations. They are like your local doctor doing a heart transplantation. Sure he's a doctor, but he will/has to fail (this includes some nobelieving pros, recording studio engineers, etc.).
This field is a very wide one and it has to be worked out by experts ("heart specialists") and even the experts run into occasions they have a hard job to deal with.
It's no black and white at all and we can fall into traps just by chance. I see that every day.
