I couldn't tell any difference between them at all. Both sounded fantastic. (I did only listen to one album though).
So not sure where he's getting these revelatory differences from. They should be very close if not identical.
I'd argue that my system is a bit better than either of the two he used too, so none of that 'not revealing enough' excuse. Of course my hearing could be cream crackered but I think Herb is in his late '70s so likely his is no better than mine.
Current Lash Up:
TEAC VRDS 701T > Sony TAE1000ESD > Krell KSA50S > JM Labs Focal Electra 926.
