No, of course not. It's a true fact.

I only ever play my 192kHz, 24bit quadrophonic recordings of classical concerts with an old 2.4.27-kernel from 2002 I keep around for that special purpose. It's astounding how everything is better localized, more vivid, not as sterile!

Interestingly the effect vanishes after a few hours of uptime, probably the DRAM refresh mechanism wears out the RAM a little. Sound becomes noticeably more dull and void of clarity.
