You can continue to go by your own belief system, but repeating it over and over does not make it so. I understand the audiophile ostrich mentality, because finding out there something better than you own, for not that much more, can be a pain.The MyTek user interface is not that big of deal to figure out. It took me all of 15 minutes. I was lazy about adjusting the jumpers, which I did a while ago. Programming a Cable DVR is more complicated than the MyTek.
You doubt you can do better, but have not done any active comparisons to speak of, so it conveniently fits into the story you tell yourself.
Your logic in that why buy a DAC costing more than the the ADC used during the recording/conversion process is crazy. Most of the best, most celebrated recordings of our time were done with cables, outboard gear, and monitors that cost less than the average audiophile interconnect today.
With that line of thinking you could say there was no such thing as power conditioning in studios, so why bother using it today? Flawed logic.
And I assure you not all DACs costing more than the MyTek are equipped with useless thick faceplates. Most of the products in the $3000-$4000 range have functional casework that does not rattle (unlike the MyTek,lol) and front panels that are also functional. There is not enough margin for audio jewelry there. For that, see MSB, dCS, Berkeley, Briscasti, Chord, Light Harmonic etc, and they are priced accordingly.
Listen to the mid line Naim DAC and the MyTek side by side. It's like two totally different recordings being played. Everything starts with the source.
