This track is something I had already mentioned (ref: link).
Track number 7, in the first 35 seconds, you should hear two instances where the beats of a metronome are picked up by the microphone. On lessor systems, only the one at the 30-35 second mark is audible. With my office system I can only hear two beeps (Teac UD-501 with Sennheiser Momentum).
The Teac DAC and my cheap headphones combined with stock USB and power cables simply cannot offer me the level of detail and resolution my primary rig can.

Truth be told this isn't a great recording. The tracks sound distorted so I simply use the starting 35 seconds as a reference to test my system.
Why is this important? The noise themselves isn't the important bits. This track is more about telling you how resolving your system is, and how attentive you are to this resolution. The two has to go hand in hand. The magic can only happen when you successfully balance the two.
Imagine how good the music sound when you can emotionally feel every nauace of the performance (be it instrument, vocals or both).
Music is emotional, and hence it is very difficult to objectively evaluate the good and the bad. Noise cues like this track and the Ray Charles track offers you something objective and static to access your equipment. While the first post allows for some basic music interpretation.
This is the song on youTube, but from another album. From my laptop speakers I can still hear the beeps at the 30-35 second mark (the first instance is lost to me).
