[There is no definition of "objectively perfect" that can be applied to a DAC. This is a technical characteristic of the format...]
Tony, I'm not sure what you refer to by that declaration. At any rate, what I wrote was "objectively the better", not objectively perfect. I read you to be a technically educated person, so, is there really any question that the closer a band limited digital audio signal's reconstruction filter approaches an ideal sinc function at Nyquist, the objectively better it is, all else being equal (quantization noise floor, band ripple, etc.)?Whether or not it's subjectively the better is a different question.
